The line has an older, but professional looking steel wire wrapped around it as connecters on the ends. Can I just remove the steel lines and put plugs in the holes?
Yes, you can remove and plug the rear hole on the block (pressure feed)
I believe it's 1/4 pipe.
The one on the front can be removed and plugged also this is oil return from filter (no oil pressure)
