Ken;
        The ideal location is in front of the radiator to receive cool
air. Generally 5/8" ID(or bigger) steel reinforced hose would be used for
such a long run. Alternatively a metal pipe would provide additional
cooling but plumbing around corners may be a problem. A thermostatically
controlled valve would be nice.
        Contact max at maxjoyce@ipa.net. He has a used system off of one
of his old busses.

Drive Safely & Good Luck
