Brake lines off of where...master cylinder? wheel cylinder?. The best I have found when those compression fittings start to strip or round off is a good, solid pair of vice grips. Crank those things down and go for it. As for the fuel tank, mine has a drain plug which made it very easy, otherwise I would probably just siphon it out. My 68 doesn't have an anti-siphon device so it is real easy to do.

Yeah, my tank has a drain plug too. I guess if yours doesn't, then siphon as much as you can, then take out the sending unit for most of the rest of it. You are going to have to replace those brake line fittings anyway, so just crank down with the best tool you have and hope that it comes loose, but if not then just use a nut cracker, or a dremel.
