So on the GTO, which has a smoothie, I will copy that to a degree for the 'bird.

In post 322, that center pic is the heater control valve config. The hose is very stiff, so I created a loop to prevent kinks, and to allow for any future trimming if the end gets boogered. That is a non-smoothie plate install, but will add a smoothie plate in the future.

On my GTO, since the control valve is only 5/8" pass-thru, I took a section of aluminum tubing and jammed it in one end, an JB welded it in there. That prevented me from having to do a loop.

The 'bird I'm doing a straight manifold, will use 90 degree EZ-Clip fittings, and have them go behind the inner wheelwell/fender. Will use the same type of hard line as the 442 & GTO, and route it into that area by where the fan motor was, and probably do a loop for future changes.

VA makes lengths of aluminum AC tubing, that has an AC fitting on one side, and a bubble type flare on the other side. I cut the AC fitting off and flare it for a tube nut, which cleans up the hose from the back of the head. (can see end in pic on post 322).
