K&N air intake installation question
 
I successfully installed the air intake filter to my 8 but i have some questions about the pipes(see attached picture). It is touching the AC compressor ( i think ), and it is kind of loose at the end where it is attached to the intake tube.

questions:
>Is it safe touching the AC compressor? (I'm worried it will melt)
>should i put hose clamp on the loose end (intake tube) ?

Any input will be very much appreciated.


Regards,
Chris

move the tube to the other side of the hook. there is enough space.

Buy the way the AC compressor you are referring to is actually your alternator.
