Replacing brake lines

So I'm finally getting the Earl's kit to replace the rubber brake lines in the IROC. The last time I did brake work was in college in the early 90's. Other than the lines and a brake bleed kit, is there anything else I require such as a special wrench or other tool? I assume after I swap the lines all I need to do is bleed the brakes, right? Anything else?

i would just suggest line wrenches, they are like an open end, but wrap around a little more like a box end but are still open enough to allow you to put them on the line then slide down onto the fitting. that way itll be less chance of stripping any of the old fittings and causing a delay.
