User "muckman" made a post about re-routing his a/c lines in this forum. Try searching for it. As a general answer, yes, you can re-route them in any fashion you want. The problem with be more of price and finding someone to do the work and also discharging/recharging your a/c system. HTH.

When I did my install I bent the existing lines to fit and made one fan a pusher and left the other as a puller. It worked fine although I did have to reservice the system.
Some "old-school" automotive parts stores sell generic lines and fittings and you can make your own lines if needed. Good luck finding that type of stuff at Auto Zone!

generic lines?
how would that work, since these lines are hard lines?

A shop local to me but can help you online, Amazon Hose Equipment can make rubber lines that are strong enough for high/low pressure AC lines.
You just have to figure out how your gonna route them and also cut off your fittings and send them to them so they can mount the lines on them. You also need to tell them how much line you'll need.
Another option is to call around local AC shops and see which ones can make custom lines. Hot rodders have been doing this for years.
I completely melted through my ac lines with my full race turbo manifold so I definitely have to get some custom ones made.
For a temp solution on pusher/puller fans, you can bend the line yourself enough to make the fans fit.
Muckman only makes them for the DA chassis tegra, but this is how he would do it.
