Default Keeping AC, And Alt In Stock Location

I was wondering if anyone has seen or built a set of Logs or Tube style headers that will Clear the fenderwells and keep the stock accessory placement. I want to merge the pipes from the top and Merge right in the middle of the middle of the radiator. I have a verticle radiator and plenty of room. Let me know what you guys think or any suggestions/pics you have. Its gonna be a single t70 setup for now.

Something like this but better executed.



Couple pics of the room I have under the hood.





I would like to keep the coils mounted in stock location and have no problems with burnt wires.

Dont mind the ac lines missing now lol

Sorry to hijack, but how do you get the AC lines to the condensor with the radiator stood up like that? Did you have them custom made or what?
