Yeah...that thing is in the way. Remove it and send it to me.

I'll take a look at my friends and see how he routed his.

Is that after bending the AC line out of the way?? Mine rubs on the blower a tiny bit with my v2, but the vortech kit comes with a spacer tube thingy so the tubing is a little bit moved from stock. As long as your temps are fine, and its not heating up the blower too much, I wouldn't worry about it.

looks like it's on contact, wrap it in some heat resistant foil tape. The routing should be fine tho

I think if you chopped 1/4-1/2" off of the end of the hose where it attaches to the upper radiator, you'll probably pull it away from the blower enough that it won't make contact. Wouldn't hurt to move that plug out of the way as well.

That's some sort of sensor fory ou A/C sytem is it not? Kinda hard to tell from the pics? Keep an eye on it and if you notice the beginnings of any sort of wear, address it thing. Moving it away from the head unit itself should be your primary goal....or at the very least cover the exposed area with some sort of protective wrap.

i'm worried about putting the 8 rib kit on. the blower will be even farther out. there has to be some way to relocate that line
