We did this exact same thing with Richie's first ride. '72 Chevy Luv w/455 Olds, TH400. Cut the line right where his left arm would drop down naturally and installed a 90 degree ball valve. Cut a small hole through the floor sheet metal and mounted it with the handle just up off the floor a smidgeon. Worked great. If you run the line up next to the floor from the firewall to where the valve is, you will probably have no problem with bleeding. We didn't.
