Are you sure you purchased the correct calipers? When I clicked on the link it displayed "This product would not fit your car" (it's recognizing I'm signed in and always defaults to my car in the catalog). The reason I mention this is your signature shows a turbo look, I realize your car is an earlier model but if you have a turbo look wouldn't that mean your car's brakes are also turbo as well since that comes in the turbo look package? Or was it something that was modified by another owner?

As for the brake lines, given your car's age it might be advantageous for you to apply a couple of coats of PB Blaster over the course of a couple days to help loosen up the metal in case it's frozen. If you're 100% certain you're installing the steel braided line you could always cut the rubber hose to get the flared wrench onto the hose end and use a box wrench on the other line connected to the rubber hose. Then you can go about installing the new brake lines. If you don't want to cut the line you could also put some lubricant on rubber hose to get your flared wrench to slip over the rubber casing of the brake line. That should allow you to get a good grip on the connector as well.
