simplistic approach or fail, 6 conversion mount and pressure regulator Options

Welder is setup and I'm practicing - check
Under the car and started to clean the metal for the mad dog mount - check
Proportioning valve Pressure regulator is in my way to weld in the mount - (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

I like removing things from the car that are not needed no longer needed i.e. -4 engine mounts, relay board mounts. I read another post from 2009 that some members remove and put a T fitting in it's place. Is this a poor move? The car has an SC front end so the brakes have been upgraded, I assume (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

I can't believe the factory would have the audacity to place it right in my way knowing full well that this 74 914 would one day turn into a 6 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

So what are my best options here - relocate further towards the driver side and elongate the main line running down the center tunnel - (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bs.gif) and replacing the passenger rear with a longer line? Maybe there is just enough main line to get it out of the way. Looks like passenger rear has already been replaced once.

I just want to be where @930cabman is right now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Also, thanks Metric AutoHaus for patching that small hole with a lap weld possibly causing this bracket to not sit flush (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)
