AC hose routing

[1984dually]

Going to install the hoses on my 8.1 swap to get the ac running. Question is what would be the best way to route the hoses? Compressor is mounted up top on the drivers side. Thinking I will run them along the top of the radiator and down the side of the radiator. Hoses will be custom built. Any ideas or pics would be great.

My factory Big Block has driver side compressor and they run like you described.

Yep, mine too. Sounds like you've got the right idea.

Hopefully since you've got a later motor, it came with a later compressor and you're running R134A instead of R12 too.

Compressor is off a late vortec 454. 134 it is. Installed a new condenser,evap,dryer,and compressor when I did the swap. Whole system is new. Seeing the routing on your trucks I think I will try and find a set of hoses off on of these trucks and adapt them to the HT6 compressor. thanks for the pics
