I dont think it's a good idea because you motor move's back and forth from giving it gas or shifting and it could rip the line or damage brake line's.

I would still suggest running it the factory way. That's my opinion

Ditto for me. You dont want car to end up in flames if something goes wrong. Yes we care.

keep it running through the bottom, below the heater hoses and then bring it back up to the motor

okay lets see, ss braided line vs soft oem hard line? i see you brakes having trouble here in the near future. i would suggest running in under the heater hose and up to the rail. just so it stays out of the way of rubbing anything.

Believe it or not, over some period of time that ss braided hose will rub right through that brake line if left like that. My opinion would be to get some rubber hose the same inner diameter as the outer diameter of that ss hose and cut 1inch and slip it over. Use a hose clamp and bolt it against the firewall.
