LS swap fuel line plumbing to fuel rails, can I plug off the fuel rails on the front and run individual fuel lines to the back?

I’m installing a new Holly intake manifold with new fuel rails. I don’t have enough room to install the crossover fuel line in front. The alternator gets in the way. Can I plug off the fuel rails on the front and run individual fuel lines to the back? If yes, do you have a recommendation on the orientation for the tea for the fuel lines coming from the fuel pressure regulator? Can I plumb it in any direction?
