You need about 1.5 feet in the back to go from the pump to the metal lines near the tank (if you're changing those). You need about 2.5 feet for the supply and return lines at the filter and drivers side of the motor, and maybe 2 more feet to do the small pieces for the primary and secondary rails. A single length of 6' should be enough to replace ALL your rubber fuel line. (This is based on an '87 TII)
Edit: Maybe you could get by with 5' if you start with your longest run, and work your way down to the shortest, and minimize any waste. But, I'd get 6' to be sure.

Gabe....
I used the summit -6an stuff, nobody's gonna know its not Earl's!!!!!!!!!!!!! And its less that 4 bucks a foot
10 Ft is 39.95 but it says low stock.... P/N 230610
6-ft is 23.95 P/N SUM-230606 If you are doing the fuel rails and double clamping onto the existing harglines from the tank.. 6-ft will be plenty
this is all summit hose

Stock lines are 5/16 OD (or the metric equivelent thereof....)
-6 an is a bit bigger, which is why if you are just running to the hardline you really need to flare them and double clamp it...
