When performing an image trace of a scanned line illustration, is there a way to force the image trace to render only lines instead of creating shapes of lines? TIA

Sure there is.

Around the 9 minute mark of this video I'm covering it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R435LNzTLt8 

 

But the results will probably not be very good.

Thanks Monika, I was aware of this option, however I never adjusted the stroke weight which did allow for better results.

Yes you have a checkbox Create > Strokes in the advanced section of the Image Trace panel.

But you might be disappointed....
