I just added an AC delete bracket but the hard pipe that is used for cooling doesn't align right. I noticed in some engine pictures that a rubber hose has been used in substitution of the hard pipe.

Does anyone have any info on what has been used?

TIA

 

The hard pipe should align well, IIRC I used washers to move the lifting ring (on which attaches the pipe) to the left of the engine.

 

dont bolt it down?

 

I did as Thom suggested, i shimmed the engine lift ring using a bunch of washers. Not the most elegant solution but it works . That a/c delete bracket should have no effect on the routing of that coolant pipe.

 

1" heater hose from the passenger side of the rad to the overflow tank and 3/8 inch from the water pump to the turbo if you want to delete it.
