I ran the two Freon lines from the blower towards the instrument cluster and routed the lines back around and under the blower. This provides extra length on the two lines just in case you need to remove the blower in the future. Initially I added the two lines without the high and low gauge connectors.
I added the high and low gauge connectors by splicing into each line. The low side length was still to long and so I had cut the line shorter and redo the crimps.
Both high and low gauge connectors sit in the smugglers box. The high connector is pushed further down in the smugglers box but is accessible for the gauge connector. I also notched the black cardboard cover over the steering linkage to allow the hoses to exit the smugglers box without cutting the box cover.
This was a picture at the AC shop during the initial charge. The tech had no issues with making the connections.
