Preffered material for coolant lines

I'm running coolant lines to the back of the car through the passenger compartment. My primary choice of material is 6061 T6 aluminum tubing 1" OD x .93" ID with flex hoses at the engine end to allow some movement.

Is there a material that would be preferred by tech inspectors or am I OK? I'm trying to avoid the costs of buying 18-20 feet of large OD stainless braided line.

Thats the same set up I use-except mine run down my driveshaft tunnel. Just make sure you have a barb on the end of the pipe + you wrap rubber where you mount it. ( I use rad. hose)
