Ideally you weld the holes shut....but they do sell rubber plugs (aka blanking caps) but they could wear and leak after a while....the size is 16mm
Samco makes better silicone plugs, but they don't sell them in the US anymore...I had to special order mine from the UK and shipping was not cheap; but since I pulled my engine out I'm getting the holes welded shut...

Another option is to just buy a longer line and route it however you want. The line and hose clamps are cheap, again you can get them at any corner parts store.
