I actually like this design on the 72 where it crosses in the front under the oil pan. It gets plenty of air flow up there and basically comes along the side frame rail where it isn't all that close to the engine.

I don't like my 70 though, it's a little different. It crosses behind the cross member under the engine between the cross member and oil pan sump, then runs up and over the cross member along the oil pan rail to the fuel pump so it's packed with a lot of heat and doesn't get nearly as much air flow as the front version.
