Here are some photos of how I routed my AC hoses. I didn't go through the wheel wells, but rather under the fuel tank and along the inside of the longs through the cabin, then through the firewall to the compressor. The hoses through the cabin are un-noticeable once the carpet is installed. The photos are a little out of order and un-titled, so if you have any questions, please ask.

I hope that you put a mechanical limiter on the passenger's seat travel! I know people who will sit down and adjust the seat all the way back until it hits the firewall. It's far better to have a way to limit the travel before they smash the seat-back into the lines you show.
You may be able to just put a bolt through the track to keep it from going back to far. Take a careful look at it and see. Pull the seat and seat rails out to check that. --DD |

A seat track stop, so no matter what the seat incline or rear travel, it won't crash into the AC fittings. Good advice though. Andys |
