Can anyone post a photo or two of the routing of the hoses from the firewall to the compressor? I have a standard transmission and no power steering.
Thanks in advance,

I don't have a photo but from what i remember they come up from the compressor, curve towards the firewall, staying between the air box, engine, and strut tower, at roughly the height of the top of the timing belt dust shield.
Hope that's understandable, but i bet a picture would help out a lot more
..also i figure they must be tied/mounted to something to stop them from going near the beltJoey Richard Jr.

ok wait i do have 2 photos.
but keep in mind THIS IS NOT THE CORRECT WAY TO RUN THEM.
it is just how my dad felt like doing it. i believe the correct way puts them to the side of the airbox, so that you can still get to the filter
