I ran into this problem with a larger intercooler in my old WRX. If you take some left over hose (that preferably has a similar inner diameter size as the outer diameter of the AC lines) cut it down the middle, wrap it around the metal AC lines that are going to be in contact with the intercooler, then zip tie it on. It worked great for me.
