I'm going to unbolt the line from the firewall and see if I can ziplock it to the brace.
Fingers crossed

I'm sure there are some strut braces out there that can clear the aircon, I know it pretty much goes right past the mount point.
I think 'Neuspeed' make a solid one piece unit.. not too sure though.
If you can possibly avoid it, don't open the a/c system up, as then you will lose the R-12 forever, and trust me its much better than the R-134a they will replace it with, not to mention a whole heap of other possible complications including technician incompetence. (enough about that though)
Otherwise try bending it out of the way without damaging any of the joins, but yeah if you can avoid it don't get the gas replaced, my system had a leak and it got 'professionaly' repaired (butchered) and R-134a was put in there, its not as good is the CFC even if they tell you its the same or better.. it ISN'T!!...
