I have, if you have an Automatic the hardest issue is repositioning the trans steel line at the fire wall. Have not done a manual.

You can just order a length of silicon hose and do it this way.

That looks better, Shawn, but I still want the lines off of the coil covers.

I might do that next, I wanted to get the coolant line under the air filter box and get the breather line around the fuse box. In any case, the parts to do that were less than $15. I'm amazed at how ***** nilly they ran those lines to begin with. So messy.

That’s cool! I admire your initiative.
please keep us updated on your progress and maybe keep track of a “grocery” list of parts and your sources.

Ok, finally spent more time and brain calories and the (mostly) finished solution (for now):
If anyone is interested, I'll post up what I wound up using as far as parts go.

Shawn, my coil covers are back after some minor paint work. Am I better off to do the re-routing of the hoses before installing them (the coils)?
Thanks!

I spent some time re-routing the PCV and evap lines. The evap line was the most difficult.

I used about 10' of 5/16" line, not including the line from the CAI to the dry sump tank.

The coil covers shouldn't be an issue, none of the lines go under the those. All of the lines are routed under the injector covers (for lack of a better description).
