Your setup looks great!
Dude,
Your die is cast-with SO's you can't get any older-school than twin Paxtons. You nailed it.
Now, take the springs out of the hoses. So you don't lean it under boost.
If you cut them just the right length, the hoses will have a tension between the tubes and hold a perfect curve and not suck closed. Practice and put the natural curve of the hose bowing outward to give the right tension.
Lose the worm clamps and hunt down these old time spring clips. Sell all the AN crap to Patrick.
See here; has worked a charm for decades:
