Please see my how to for installing a dual pass. It is the same for any aftermarket heat exchanger.

Its not a difficult task but done right it takes time and care.
remove s/c and IM. swap the two lower cores end for end, taking care not to crush the soft ends of the cores and not leave behind the o rings and washers.
reinstall and carry on with option B. All explained in this thread and on the GM CED pdf document.

Might be a stupid question but do you need dual pass to install option B?

I agree dude, I did the same thing, always better to ensure especially if you have mods. I roated my line from the surge tank through bottom half of the framing.. kinda where yours is now just under neath it tho so its lower then the tank. And behind the head light housing.. I hope this helps you man gl!

then i use a chisel to open up the slot in the tie bar just to the left ( passenger side) of the air bag sensor, across from the dipstick. You can then feed the mainhose for the reservoir through there and it is protected by the tie bar from the supercharger.
