Yeah, the bcs mount isn't a bad idea. I'm not sure of the long term effects of heat on the solenoid though. I just used a small piece of 1" aluminum flat stock, drilled holes through it roughly where the 2 holes are that pass through the bcs, and one up top for the bolt and then use some stainless steel wire to secure it to that flat stock.That's a good idea about the bcs mount to the radiator. I might think about doing that myself.
As for your cooling, if you look through my build thread I made a kind of a windshield for the bumper cover. It works great and my car never even thinks about getting hotter than 206 or so, and I live in Texas. You can make one out of ABS plastic and call it a day. You shouldn't need those vents.
As for the vc outlets, I can't tell you which one to sue but only to use the one that will be shortest. There's very little room. I would even consider sawing the bottoms of the fittings off and leaving only enough room to screw the female fittings on. Very little room for error there or it will hit the hood.
I'll check out your build and that deflector idea. I'd really like to not cut up the bumper if possible
The valve cover fittings, I did order up some 90° fittings but either fitting I use I would cut them here on the lines to make them as short as possible.

I do have a feeling that that first straight fitting, along with a 90° fitting on the hose won't clear the hood..
