*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). | ||
* If you need longer hoses, for example for routing the hoses in the engine compartment, www.acparts.com (Aero Climate Control Inc, 2012 Industrial Bld, Rockwall, TX 75087) sells them by the foot. The #10 hose has part no 3501028 ($4.60/ft as of 2024) and the #8 hose has part no 3501010 ($4.17/ft as of 2024). The hoses that come with the AC and the one acparts.com sell are the same, Goodyear Galaxy Reduced Barrier. | * If you need longer hoses, for example for routing the hoses in the engine compartment, www.acparts.com (Aero Climate Control Inc, 2012 Industrial Bld, Rockwall, TX 75087) sells them by the foot.

* 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.<br>This builder log from Allen documents using the tunnel: [https://airplane.allanglen.com/2022/04/16/a-c-line-routing/ AC-line tunnel routing] | * 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. | ||
