How to route radiator hose after AC bracket install

I bought the CVF Racing billet AC bracket. After installing it im having trouble figuring out how to route the upper radiator hose.

I was wondering if anyone has also bought this bracket and how they went about routing there upper radiator hose?

***i have purchased an aftermarket radiator (3 row) upper hose outlet is on the passenger side, same as AC***

Did you contact them about this?

I contacted them once to ask about hood clearance. Their response was "we don't have a fleet of vehicles to test this on". Well I didn't expect them to have a fleet but they should have tested the setup in real world situations in common Fords that would have a big block.

Just makes you wonder how much thought went into the setup.

Also have you tried a truck thermostat housing? Its angled up more compared to the car versions. That and a flex hose might get you around the AC pump

What I ended up doing was slicing 2 hoses and making them work with connectors. Funny I didn't even think of good clearance! I think I may be okay only because I fabricated my own fiberglass hood, so there is no underhood support braces like a steel hood.

It's definitely something a guy would not think about till it was in the car and you get that wtf moment.

I got lucky and it cleared! But yes your 100% correct
