Default Re-Routing AC Lines

I am thinking of re-reouting my AC lines so they are out of the way as opposed to removing the AC altogether... any members that have done this do you have any suggestions? how did you do it? how much did it cost? and anything else you could add would be great!

Thanks so much!

how would you like it rerouted since some of the lines are solid and you dont wanna bend them or move them in places that could damage the lines

the lines on the passanger side that pass over the exhaust manifold are the ones I want to re-route... they are solid so I will need new ones made or to have these re-bent? I heard that somebody on here has braided SS lines that made routing easier anyone else have this done or hear of this method?

when i turbo my car (hopefully in a year or so) i plan to make new lines. i was just going to buy new lines and weld on tubes where its needed and route them accordingly. for people who dont know how to weld maybe something like alumalloy would work. or just have it made. i would think it wont be cheap though...especially if you take it to an ac shop considering the price of redoing your ac can cost +$1000.

you buy it to drive and enjoy it? Or did you drive it to be some luxury GT type of car? 86 The A/C altogether. Forget it

for South Florida too.

My race car doesn't have A/C, but the S does. If I lived up north, I may have a different opinion about this.
