*If you want to route the hoses along the right side of the fuse, the thicker fitting needs to be on the copilot side (the Layout diagram shows it the opposite way). | *If you want to route the hoses along the right side of the fuse, the thicker fitting needs to be on the copilot side (the Layout diagram shows it the opposite way). | ||
* There are two options for routing the hoses: through the tunnel or within the side walls. The kit contains only the fittings for the tunnel option (which needs "Z" adapters for the condenser; for routing in the side walls, you need plain 90 degree adapters on the condenser). Specify which routing you want when ordering. Airflow will exchange the Z fittings for 90 degree ones on request however they are made to order and it takes several weeks. | * There are two options for routing the hoses: through the tunnel or within the side walls.

*When running the hoses outside the tunnel, they recommend running them to the right side of the firewall as the left side is busy with the oil cooler. | *When running the hoses outside the tunnel, they recommend running them to the right side of the firewall as the left side is busy with the oil cooler. | ||
*Note: If you use the [https://www.aerosportproducts.com/product/rv-10-interior-panels-2/ Aerosport interior panels], keep in mind that the recessed area for maps / the cup holder occupies the space between the panel and the outer skin which is separated by U-profiles all around, where you would probably want to route the hoses through. There is room for one hose all the way on the top but a modification to the right side panel is need if you run the second hose underneath it. | *Note: If you use the [https://www.aerosportproducts.com/product/rv-10-interior-panels-2/ Aerosport interior panels], keep in mind that the recessed area for maps / the cup holder occupies the space between the panel and the outer skin which is separated by U-profiles all around, where you would probably want to route the hoses through.
