What is the deal? Do they need to be above something? If they were tucked or routed lower would it just make access to other service locations harder to get to?
In the long term I would like a Harrop SC and to do some wire tucks to clean up the engine bay, along with some other additions, but am clueless about those AC hoses.

Seriously? You just named two things that make it worthwhile.
I see no problem attempting to route it under the manifold, I'm pretty sure they were placed that way for convenience of design, also I'm not sure the low pressure side should be that close to the block as heat may effect cooling.
