OVC wires and 94-95 MAC headers

Hey guys, we are putting MAC headers, 94-95 style on my friends 96 Z. Can we run over the valve cover wires? Thanks!

I haven't personally seen one with macs and over the valve cover wires but i don't see why you wouldn't be able to.

Here are a few pics of my OTVC wires with MACs. It's virtually impossible to burn the wires. No firesleeves are needed.

I did this two years ago coming March. Fantastic mod, and the life of the wires is dramatically improved. I have no burps (except for an issue with spark plugs, but I know this), in the ignition system and have 280,000 kms on the car.

It is an easy job and looks great.

Run the passenger side wires behind the belt tensioner (two bolts and its off). I didn't do this, but a friend of mine did and that is a safe way to clear the PS pump. However, I have had no issues with my PS pump and the wires gastly close to it.
