You could make custom lines, so that you have hard lines inside the finder, so turn them out 90 degrees from the evaporator to the fender and then go to soft lines for a few inches, then back to hard lines turning 90 degrees inside the finder up to where you air cleaner is on the passgner side. going hard line to the condenser and to soft line to loop to the compressor. OR you could keep the hard line in the factory spot and do the other line through the fender.
