I JUST replaced my plugs and wires 2 days ago. I just squeezed them into the seperators. They fit fine, with no major fitting problems. It's just a tight squeeze, that's all. It's definitely do-able.

I agree, I just did mine last wkd, they fit fine into the wire seperators, except in the little track underneath the alternator.. that was PITA. I used one ziptie on the passenger side by the drive belt, you can only see it from underneath the car.

no freaking idea what I'll use. Ordering 10mm race wires from Magnecore this Thur for my new LTCC setup. Hopefully I won't need straps of any sort, the bracket I'm building will just allow them to drop down at an angle. Hate the LS1 coil look on valve covers so I'm making a bracket that stacks them closer together.

I put the Delteq coil pack on the firewall and used the zip tie method on the wires. I would recommend that you get some universal wires and cut them to fit over the valve covers and down to the opti. That makes them A LOT more acxcessible and easier to work on, plus it's easier to see if they are touching the headers/manifold.
