Yeah, I think the way the Vintage Air instructions have the heater return hose routed is kinda goofy. They probably have it set up like that for simplicity of install rather than neatness. I looked online for inspiration and found this photo of someone else's car showing a somewhat similar arrangement to how mine will be configured. Much cleaner this way.



Fortunately for you, it is relatively easy to change your setup if you decide to, since it's just a coolant hose and not a refrigerant hose.

I first primed it with PPG DP90 epoxy primer, then sprayed 3m body schutz rubberized undercoating.
