Question 1998 Chevy Lumina brake line confusion

Long story short, I have disconnected the brake lines from the first three ports on the master cylinder and now that i've cut the metal brake lines down below, i'm confused as to which port on the cylinder feeds to which wheel caliper. I am obviously not a mechanic. I'm trying to help my son DIY on this older vehicle.
The lines were severely rusted through and were spewing fluid from obvious places. This is why i've run new ones. I've searched the internet tirelessly to find a diagram of this particular model and brake system to no avail. Would anyone have the general knowledge or be able to point me to a reliable resource to show the exact configuration from master cylinder to the corresponding calipers? I've attached pic of my master cylinder cofiguration. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Re: 1998 Chevy Lumina brake line confusion

The Delco ABS VI four channel system usually has the output brake line hydraulic connections as follows, front to rear:

1. Left Front;

2. Right Rear;

3. Left Rear;

4. Right Front.

Follow the lines and routing and see if that makes sense with your existing lines and old, cut out lines. There are no guarantees that this is correct for your vehicle. Use at your own risk.

Here is a reference for bleeding the ABS VI unit once the lines are connected:

Scroll down about 25% of the page to the section on the ABS VI.
