There are probably just as many ways and ideas on how to run oil lines as there are conversions out there!
Here's what I did; follow the pictures - there is a channel under the gas tank that you can run the oil lines through, and you don't need to remove the tank. You need to cut holes in the lower corners of the front trunk area, and in the foot wells. You can then run them into the heater ducts in the rockers then back all the way to the engine (no pics of this, but you get the idea). On the passengers side, I chose to run the oil line up higher so it wasn't on the floor for fee to hit - so I had to remove the tank. But in my race car, the lines go all the way through onto the bottom - where I currently have the power line that you see. Attached image(s)
