A/C line is easy, just take your time.
It's aluminum tubing & is very soft & easy to reshape.
One trick is to get a short piece of neoprene tubing (2 -3 ") then slice it lengthwise.
You then slide it over the tubing.
It helps spread the load on the A/C line as you bend it.
= smoother bend & less chance of damage.
sorry.... falling behind on this thread.

I spent 3 or so hours with scott and his fabricator last wednesday. They got the brackets all mocked up for us vortech guys and nice little RA plaques for the middle of the bar. I believe the bars should be going to paint earlier this week, so you guys will have your bars very soon.

For you guys stuck on keeping the OE air box....
I believe it would not be that difficult to do.
The only part that interferes is the nut where the lower arm brace mounts to the suspension point. (beside arrow on the left)
With all the aftermarket intakes installed, there must be a ton of old air boxes available for next to nothing.
I'd be picking one up to play with.
I never actually got around to it,
but I think all it would take is a heat gun to reshape the box a bit where that nut goes.
