I've seen this done before and should work just fine.

Now that you mention it, I think I do remember my 68 being that way when I pulled then tank out. Although, it's really not a huge expense for the piece of mind to install a couple AN fittings and a short piece of braided hose there. But I follow your thinking; new mounts, should be little to no twist. But, in the future after you have a few miles on it........
