Looks good.

Question though. In the second pic you can see another hole in the support. Any reason that you couldn't go through there so you didn't have all that bending? The less bends or restrictions the better.

Put a 90 bend silicone right off the compressor, and a small angle pipe aiming at the hole in the core support. That small 180 will hurt flow. Looks great though!

i dont have any pics right now its under a foot of snow under a cover but im also running a 67-68 front end and the problem i had was the hood release is right in the middle on the out side and you need like 3 inches in there i ended up buying a shorter thicker intercooler and i also had to trim my grille to fit the thicker intercooler

I would leave the ic pipe coming off the compressor just the way it is, its got a pretty good radius for being in a tight space like that, nicely executed. A sharp 90 coupler would be like a hitting a wall.
