Bob,
I installed these pipes on an 85 1.9 with the tank down but both pipes
and the heater hose go through the oval opening where the old pipes
were.

If i recall correctly, the arrows should point toward the front of the
vehicle. They should follow each others shape when they are aligned.
You can use tie wraps to hold their position as you install. I have a
picture that may or not help:

Pmail if you need me to check anything or take more pix when I get
home from work.
