2002 LS1 to 1980 truck 350 automatic

My oil dipstick runs under the air tube towards the radiator. It is hard to read the oil level by the time I get the stick pulled out. Could I use a tube bender to slowly bend the tube up towards the top of the engine, or would it be better to go to a wrecking yard and pull a tube and dipstick and replace mine. I have
never seen an LS1 with a 90 degree tube before. Is it stock?

if you have a straight section you can bend its doable...would be hard to unbend where its bent though...id just grab one from a junkyard
