Plug wire routing?

My car has ran like crap for a whial now. I was able to pull two plug wires off and it would idle the same. So after rulling out the coil and icm I went out and got a new GM opti, new plugs and I replaced my worn out autozone wires with MSD supper conductors. Only paid $60 for the wires after I got credit for the cheap autozone wires. My question is on the passanger side the wires will not work in the stock routing. I noticed there is a gap between the pully bracket and the block; directly to the left of the opti under the WP. I know the number 2 plug wire will not work but I think I will be able to run the other three wires through there and up to the plugs. what do you guys think? I also have heat sleves for the wires.

They will fit through the stock routing behind the power steering pump. You have to rip out the old plastic track, then use zip ties to keep the wires from moving. The #2 wire has to be very carefully positioned or you can destroy it on the tensioner pulley.

Ok thanks if it does not work out the way I plan atleast I know I can just remove the track and run the wires in the stock position.

I ended up running the number 2 plug wire in the stock position but I ran the others through the space between the block ond pully mounting bracket. It turned out great.
