Can the oil and coolant lines...

...for our turbo cars be cleaned-up adequately for re-use?

I'm talking lines that aren't rusted, plugged, or otherwise compromised - no bearing material circulating, etc.

If you're talking about the lines for the turbos themselves, certainly. The problem is that over time they become kinked and marred after having been removed and reinstalled so much. They might appear normal to you but kinks, even of the small variety, will exist in almost every hard line that has been removed before. That's going to inhibit fluid flow.

That would certainly be my take too; these will have a very close look before I re-use them, but it doesn't look like they've ever been off, at 140K.

They will be cleaned scrupulously, for sure.

I've re-used all of my lines many times without issues.

It really depends on how well your car was maintained. The feed lines are very small and can clog easily if your car hasn't had regular oil changes. The oil feeds are the only thing I'd ever worry about replacing.

Then I should be good to go - I've been trying to be appropriately paranoid, rather than rampantly so.
