Which style of clamps did you use? There are a few in that link.
The nice thing about having this entire assembly to swap in is I'm not touching a single clamp or banjo bolt. Presumably it wasn't leaking in Jim's car, so I should be alright, but if I run into issues I'll swap all the clamps out to something better.
I also need to figure out the placement of the aftermarket oil cooler he has on there. It looks like it'll slide right between the A/C condenser and radiator, but that has the delicate rubber hoses poking out into the airstream under the radiator and with my luck I'll catch a rock with them. I can try to snake the lines in from the side (don't remember if it's plastic or what there) or I can try to find another location.
