Vehicle Specific GM Truck Plate Kit

Has anyone bought and installed this kit on a 99-02 truck with DBC 78mm throttle body? I ran into about FOUR problems.
This picture shows how the cruise control cable rubs the nitrous line. And if the line was where it is designed to be, the cruise control cable connector would hit it before WOT.
In this picture, yes it tucks in nicely to the alternator bracket, but it's not enough. There is no wiggle room when I try to hook the line up to the solenoid. I could cut the line some, but even then the fitting on the solenoid still hits the alternator bracket.
Oh yea, the fuel solenoid interferes with the coolant crossover hose. There's not even enough room to get a bolt through the solenoid mounting bracket.
Hello Mr. Water Pump. This photo pretty much explains itself. The nitrous line runs straight into the water pump outlet...

End result:
I also had to cut about a quarter inch off the end of the fuel line to keep it from rubbing the alt bracket.
I'm still unsure what to do with the nitrous side and the purge solenoid. May order some tube and bend my own hard line.
To the guys at Nitrous Outlet, you should at least remove the 78mm truck specific kits from your website until you get time to re-plumb the hard lines. You may also want to move the solenoids closer together on the bracket so the are further away from the water pump and coolant crossover.
