I picked up a 90 degree fitting. I'll run it under the AC compressor like you guys. Thanks for the help.

My other problem is that my 3/4 heater hose does not run to the water pump. It goes directly into the radiator tank. Theres not much clearance between where the hose comes out and the AC compressor. Curious to see other pics of this setup to see how people have ran this hose

In the picture the AC compressor is pushed all the way up against the valve cover and that is all of the clearance I have. If I put a belt on it and tension it the pulley will definitely rub the hose. Plus it wants to kink.

Im thinking of just finding a 45 degree molded hose to shoot it away from the ac compressor and using a double sided barb to connect it to the piece that will go to the heater core. Ugly but functional. Any thoughts?
