Well, if you put it on the inner fender well, you can run hard lines to it, then 1 soft line from it to the carb.

If you put the regulator on the head, you have to run 2 lines, feed & return.

There's a hole in the frame just before the firewall and past the crossmember too I believe, you could run the lines through it, and even mount it on the frame rail ahead of the upper control arm. That would pass track tech being in the frame rail as it passes the bell housing area.

When you run lines the length of the car, when you fasten them you need to allow some type of movement of the line in the fastener. You can use padded adel clamps as long as you use 1 size larger, so the lines can move as the body twists.

If you have a unibody car, just remember you need to transition from one moving platform to the other using soft lines, like from the body to the frame, just like the factory did. That prevents hard line from 'work hardening' and failing.

Use the factory configuration as a starting point and design from that.
