If you ever get jammed up for room for the screw type hose clamps consider using "Cinch Clamps" they take up way less room, work great, but can be a pain to remove.

Thanks!
Tanks Inc. sure does a nice job with the silver powder coat. I took extra care during the installation as not to scratch it.
Yeah I used those cinch style clamps up front where the hoses connect to the engine.
Hooked up all the hoses at the tank today. Here's a photo of the vent connection. The hose is 5/16" and the trunk loop tube is 1/4" so I put a piece of heat shrink tubing on the tip of loop tube to make the hose fit tightly. Tanks Inc. supplied me with a rollover valve but I can't find a good location to mount it so I think I'll go without it. I'm going to be pretty careful with the car and don't plan on rolling it. Not a good idea with a convertible without a roll bar anyway.
Posting a photo of the original vent loop inside the trunk as I know some of my follower friends probably haven't seen one before.
It took me a couple of months to get but I received the A/C condenser I had on order from Original Air and got it installed. It is a parallel flow design instead of the original serpentine type. It's a spendy piece at $360. $454 with tax and shipping.
They do a pretty good job making it fit exactly like the original but I did have to bend the tubes some to be able to get it into place.
I dug out the Magnaflow exhaust system I bought a few months back and started looking at it. It appears like I'm going to have to modify it some to get it to fit with the G Force transmission crossmember I have. Anyway, installing the exhaust looks like is what I'm planning to do next.
