SC IC Routing With ABS and AC???

I just checked a lot of links to find something showing supercharger (especially P1SC) intercooler routing with stock locations for the AC and ABS and did not find any. It appears the AC lines stop you from having a cold side through the battery (which of course, has to be moved) or the one that showed a great 2-on-the-left piping but had the ABS removed or moved. Has anyone been able to rout around them and has an explanation or pics to show how?

There does appear to be some room between the exhaust manifold and the body to allow going to the back side of the ABS instead of the front and then run the return pipe in front of the ABS to the TB. To do this I could just put a 18" strecth of silcone hose down there, it should hold 8# no problem and would form it's self to the opening (I'd check to make sure it's not rubbing through). Otherwise maybe I could just bend up some new brake lines and stick the ABS lower (but then I would have to tow the car to a shop for brake bleeding I guess?).

I've seen shots of a car with both going down that side and it certainly looks nice.

??? Now I'm lost. That's what I am talking about doing and just trying to figure out how to rout the pipes. I haven't seen a pic yet of doing a FMIC with ABS and AC still connected. Is there some easy way to do routing for a FMIC that I just missed???

Just called ATI and found out the housing, which aims the outlet, can be rotated "clocked", in any direction. So room for the pipes shouldn't be a problem at all. Whew!!!

Sorry, I probably made myself look like an idiot over all the odd questions but I have been waiting for the unit over 1 month (no issues, just a slow supplier).
