I started a winter tear down on my s13, and found a bend in one of the metal hardlines on inner passenger frame rail. Tracing it up towards the firewall, I find that the hardline leads to rubber line that leads to.... nothing?
Are these fuel lines? If so, is this line not used in after swapping to an SR (hard to imagine that could be the case)? I always thought they were brake lines, but never thought much about it (other than checking for rust). I swapped and SR into this car 5+ years ago and it has been through multiple auto-x seasons since then. I had a friend helping with the swap at the time so I'm thinking that is when this line might have been removed/disconnected.
Here is a stock photo of the lines (four lines next to frame rail). The line in question is the inner most line closest to trans.

Here is a shot of my lines from the top in the engine bay (between passenger side strut tower and intake manifold)
