AC lines location when front oil cooler lines are already in the rocker...

I have a front oil cooler with lines that run under the rocker on the passenger side, and I want to put AC in ad well. Do I just run the AC lines over the oil cooler lines, or is there a better place? Can I run them up through the air tunnels for the hot air? OR the center tunnel? Or the driver's side?
Any ideas?

I guess that's where I'll go, then, driver's wheel well for the drier, then under the car to the evapoator in the smuggler's box, then back out to the rocker panel from the smuggler's box.
I just don't want to have to drill a bunch of screws through the floorpan to hold the lines secure.

Just for reference, on a factory installation, the line from the rear condenser to the front condenser is drivers side, and the line from the evaporator to the compressor is passenger side. Neither run under the rocker covers per se. They are secured to the bottom of the body with P clamps. You don't want the evaporator to compressor line in contact with the oil lines for heat reasons.

The AC lines are inboard of the oil cooler lines. As noted above, held in place with P Clamps.

This post may be helpful for general routing.

The pictures below from a SC for sale at https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1983-porsche-911sc-cabriolet-38/ have some good info.

This picture shows a spacer for the coil to prevent it from hitting the rear deck lid condenser.



This picture is the picture of the AC hose routing. Note the Oil Cooler line on the right hand side of the car.

Ah, thanks,. I wonder where those screws holding the p-clamps stick up inside the car? THink they're inside the air conduits for the defroster?
