Where Do I Run Nitrous Lines?

OK, I installed a 10lb nitrous bottle behind the passenger seat, inside the storage area. Now where th eline is going to connect to the bottle is right on top of the tunnel and i dont want to cut a hole in the floor and run the line by the exhaust (DUH!!) so i was wondering if it is OK to just run the line under the carpet, up to the front, under the dash and through the firewall? Or should i just run it to the side of the storage area and then drill a hole and run it under the car?
FTR: its on a SBF swap, not a rotary (not engine related so i dont thin this has to be in the engine swap section as it has to do with the RX7 not the engine)

shifter question is swap related so i will post there as well. With the grannys kit i got a little 3" rectangle piece with four holes in it... I assume this is the shifter piece to run the T-5 shifter out the stock hole? If so how the hell does that thing work?

you can go under the carpet and next to the shifter as long as you make sure not to crush the hose with the center console

What about running it through the door sill? Then the line can enter the engine bay via the available grommits at each corner.

i am not positive about the line, but the little triangle thing is for the shifter. the install is real simple you should look at it and know what to do.
