More pics please!
This is as far as I've gotten on that project. I'll need my new struts to accurately route the tubing. My urethane engine mounts are in though.
I'll be posting pics of my downpipe modifications which I just completed today. 
Jim, have you tested to make sure your hose will clear the axle when the suspension is compressed?? Where are you getting your thin-wall tubing?I've got 2" flex duct, since there isn't room for 3". I'll be running that to a piece of 2" thinwall aluminium tubing where they have to sneak past the engine/transmission, respectively, I may have to flatten the tubing slightly to clear. Not entirely sure where the scoops will end up as of yet. I'm prepared to cut plastic where needed. I'll post pic's when I get that far, if the carnage isn't too drastic.Who am I kidding, I'll post regardless.
The tubing is some stuff that was laying around the shop where I work. I think I will be routing the duct alongside the strut, against the frame, essentially. It looks like if I rivet or zip-screw a short length of the aforementioned tubing to the sheetmetal, and flatten it a bit, it should clear. I'll post the results.
In all reality, only the diaphragm housing is any closer to the pump and alternator than before I added the external into the dump.
No offense taken. Summers can get 90*+ with near 100% humidity around here. The last 2 summers, I've had the same downpipe on the car, both wrapped and not, and I have been track daying it twice a year, with no issues yet. ( knocking lots of wood) I do run Redline p.s. fluid, my previous setup had a heat deflector on the pump (I'm making a larger one, including a deflector for the alternator) and the temps during previous track days have been admittedly cool.
I plan on posting pics of all this stuff when it's done.

I am considering a way to cool the fluid since the stock "cooling tube" is likely to rust thru soon.
Also decieving is the proximity of the exhaust manifold, that brand new SBR is in place for mockup pourposes only, my heat coated FP manifold is on the way, as soon as that first run ships. Sweeeeet!
I know of the relocation brackets, downside of them is they necessarily eliminates my A/C. May sound dumb, but the A/C inclusion on this project is necessary to control the potential "stupidity factor" that all of my past projects invariably die of.Mitch (engintechs) knows of a bracket that puts both the alternator and ps pump on the opposite side. It might also be time for the 2-gal water bottle and Home Depot pump and drip system spary nozzles...
