Regulator Setup for Backmount and Sidemount

Hi everyone,

I'm currently diving sidemount with 1 or 2 tanks depending on the types of dive I do, but I also do have a BP/W Donut BCD that I used to use before I started on my sidemount. My questions revolves around how I can most efficiently convert my regulator setup from Sidemount to Backmount and vice versa.

Current Sidemount Setup:

- 62cm LP hose for necklace 2nd Stage

- 210cm LP hose for 2nd Stage

- 21cm LP inflator hose

- 6in SPG hose

Would the 2 2nd stage LP hose be long enough to be used on a BP/W BCD?

That why I would only have to swap out my SPG hose and inflator hose whenever I swap between sidemount and backmount

Edit: Adding more details. I dive with only AL80 tanks in warm tropical waters around SEA. Backmount would only be for single tank dives. I prefer sidemount for anything 2 tanks.
