Default A/C refrigerant line relocation

I have an '88 5.0 LX that I am working on right now. The motor is out and I am working on the engine bay clean-up (hide wires, clean motor and tranny, etc.) Anyways, I hate the way that the refrigerant line from the canister to the condenser goes over the motor and across the intake. Is there another option than having this line go over the intake. Is there a certain hose and/or connectors I can buy and re-route the hose back around the passenger side? I'm just looking for other options. I want to keep the A/C.

I've seen where ppl have it under the corner of the intake. Maybe you have to do that as you're putting the upper on.

also check out the layout from a T-bird 5.0, I got the A/C lines from it and the line from the compressor to condensor goes under the engine by the bottom of the radiator

when I lived out west there was a place called EVCO HOUSE of hose and they made any type of hose you could think of, including a/c hoses, if you can find a place that'll custom fab you hoses you can redesign the hoses and length so they can be hidden
