AC line routing on an R50

Hi everyone,

My lowest AC line from the bottom of the condenser to the back of the firewall had a hole in it and leaked out all the refrigerant. I finally got around to getting anew line from it and was really eager to put it in but did not realize it was a PITA.

Does anyone have suggestions on how to route it? I read one thread on the topic and it mentioned lifting the transmission out of the way to get to it and that doesn't really sound like something I want to do. If that is the only way then I may have to just take it to a shop and pay way too much for it.

Is there any way to MacGyver it and route the lines another way or am I being naive? I'd appreciate anyone's feedback on the issue. Thanks!
