Anyway, I'm sure there are plenty of other routes that would work. Just keep in mind that ever 90deg fitting is like 12ft of line as far as pressure drop (or something ridiculous like that). I'd definitely run an extra foot or two of line if it avoids sharp turn fittings.

In fact that's why the cooler is rotated 90deg. I can use straight fittings instead of 90deg fittings. Plus, it made mounting it to the existing rad supports easier.
I will keep that in mind thanks for the info.
