I don't plan in using them at all  :icon_smile_cool:

From Canada , the car will only be driven in the summer. No need for heat !  It always bothered me seeing the 2 big fat hoses running threw bay.!

You could go all out like Pat did and eliminate them from the engine compartment completely.

I did the "poor man's version" of that same mod. I'm LOVING how Pat did it though. Maybe for my other car?

Big pics so I'll stick w/links rather than embedding the pics here.

Nice and clean   :2thumbs:

Did you use 90 degree fittings on the water pump? I had my old hoses at a pretty harsh bend and they started to split after a while.

Looks good.   :2thumbs:  Does the tire hit any of the hoses? Looks pretty close.

No, it's not even close. There is plenty of clearance. That's a side affect of camera angle and optics.
