Default Purge with a extended/sealed off hood?

I've searched for awhile on here hoping to find some pictures or ideas on how to run my purge in the cleanest way possible. I really didn't find anything so Im hoping someone would chime in here. I have a extended Sunoco hood and I have cut the cowl back to the windshield to cut down on the clutter. There just isn't really a exit point for the purge since the hood seals off to the windshield. Just wondering where some of you guys are running yours? Any help, ideas, or pictures would be greatly appreciated guys. Thanks

Here's a couple pics to show what I have to work with.

Put a tiny hole in the center of the hood by the windshield and run it out there.

i used steel brake line and flared a -3an or whatever nut on the end, attatched to the purge solenoid and routed it along the firewall and out between cowl and passenger side mirror. i dont have any pics right now since the car is in a million pieces.

One of our employees here runs the same hood that you have. He ran out each side of the cowl and insulated them from the window with some heat shrink.

Here are a couple of pics of his setup and how he ran the vents. Sorry for the poor picture quality.
