FOCUS!

Looks good. Finally someone did the right thing and went through the rad support instead of under the headlights. I did the same and it saved almost 5 feet of piping length.

One thing though...There's a LOT of rubber on those lines, and worm gear type hose clamps. I think you'll find issues with it blowing off.

Also, is the your battery properly retained with a circuit breaker/fuse mounted as physically close as it can be?

The aftermarket 3rd gen alternators should be exactly the same as the stock 3rd gen alternator as far as fitment so you shouldn't have any issues.
