Default Brake lines too close to Ram Air manifolds???

Just dropped my new engine in today and, as you can see from the photos, the brake lines are a little close to the manifold on to left side of the car. If I mess with the line a little more, I can probably get it about 1/4" to 3/8" away from the manifold. Is this still too close? When I took my old lines off, I noticed they were wrapped in some type of asbestos shield. I'm guessing this is to help keep the heat off. Would something like this help, or am I better off plumbing new brake lines somewhere else? Unfortunately, there aren't many options. Those RA manifolds are in there pretty tight.
