48-52 A/C line Routing

Hey everyone, with it starting to get hot down south I'm ready to start putting the rest of my A/C system in and I was wondering if anyone had pictures of how they routed their A/C lines? My compressor will be on the passenger side and I'm just trying to decide where I want to route the lines. Thank's

Check "tractormanbill's" thread on this: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...l#post15065396

That post shows his routing in the fenderwell, start at the beginning of the thread to see the system he used.

I have seen a few that have run them on the outside of the inner fender.

Built this for a functional driver, nothing fancy. I figure routing thru the radiator surround might be of interest. I have several thousand miles and the Vintage Air system is working well. My AC duct is a bit different from the norm and gives nice distribution. One duct is routed to the driver defroster outlet, another to the center cut out plastic radio blank, and the third is at the lower level of the dash and is directed to just center of the passenger seat. This distribution works well, gets the discharge high where needed and there is no need for a separate defroster.
And BTW, the belts on this installation are in alignment.

Thank's for all the pics.

Raytasch, That's what I was considering doing for A/C line routing.
