if they installed your radiator and they didnt fix that or say anything to you about it then you might want to consider somewhere new

Yeah but I'm sure I don't have as much experience as the shop you took it to and even *I* can tell you there should be no hoses running across the top of the radiator cover, let alone an AC hose. Common sense the hose will get pinched/severed there.

yeah it doesnt look good and they should fix it... you might want to try looking at some pictures of some engine bays of your same year i know that in the 87-93 the a/c goes from the condensor to the fire wall and from the compressor to the fire wall and it does go around anything else but i dont know much about 94 and up

Its in the right place, it's just supposed to be under the cover... Remove the cover and reinstall it over the hose.
