I drilled and tapped a hole on the third member on a rib for mine in the Monte, I think I added a small L shaped bracket between the two.

Any chance you can share a pic of where you did that? I found one video online where he basically made an L bracket that went on one of the third member bolts. I also have the issue of my lines being too long. As they’re made for the drums. Guess that’s my next mission 🤦🏼‍♂️

Sorry I don't have a picture of the block mounting, but I did mock ups with my flex line mounted to the car and moved the rearend up and down to find the best location for the line and block to bend and move with the rearend and it ended up being on a rib at least a few inches from the bolts that mount the third member.
For my lines going from the block to the rear discs I also drilled and tapped the housing and used cushion clamps to secure them/
