They're not necessarily.
if you are asking about the cooling lines for the transmission that connect to the radiator, its easy. first disconnect the lines from the radiator (2 lines, usually on the bottom opposite the radiator outlet) then disconnect the lines from the transmission. remove the brackets holding them on, then remove.
On the automatic transmission there are lines from the transmission to the transmission cooler that connect to the radiator

In a Chevrolet Silverado, the vacuum lines that connect to the transmission modulator are typically located on the engine side, near the intake manifold. One line runs from the intake manifold to the modulator on the transmission, while another may connect to the vacuum source, helping to regulate transmission shifting. It's important to ensure these lines are free of leaks for proper transmission function. For specific routing, consulting a service manual for your model year is recommended.
To connect transmission cooling lines, first ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and the engine is off. Locate the cooling lines, typically found near the transmission and radiator; clean the fittings to prevent contamination. Align the lines and securely fasten them using appropriate connectors or clamps, ensuring a tight seal to prevent leaks. Finally, check the connections after starting the vehicle and topping off the transmission fluid if needed.
right side of trans, below battery, 2 trans fluid lines connect to the radiator.
To connect 12 points with 5 lines, you can create a configuration where lines intersect and connect multiple points simultaneously. For instance, using a star-like pattern or a network graph where lines overlap can achieve this. Each line can connect multiple points, allowing you to cover all 12 points efficiently. However, achieving this while ensuring all points are connected might require creative placement of lines.
draw lines and connect them
You can disconnect the 1996 Jeep transmission lines with a 9/16 open end wrench. Be prepared for transmission fluid to come out of the transmission lines.
To remove the transmission from a 1995 Cadillac DeVille with a 4.6L engine, first disconnect the battery, then drain the transmission fluid. Remove the drive shafts, unbolt the transmission from the engine, and detach the transmission cooler lines, electrical connectors, and linkage. After supporting the transmission with a jack, lower it from the vehicle. To install, reverse the process: position the transmission, connect all lines and linkages, and refill the fluid before reattaching the battery.
Those transmissions have whats called a "Quick Connect" fitting. There are little plastic tabs on the fittings that must be pushed in so that the line can be pulled out.
