I had this same problem when I did my 70 GT-500 - sold new in San Diego. As I recall it's sold as a 1 piece tube like the factory would use. My car had this line cut into 2 pieces at the firewall. I think whoever did this change did so without removing the drive train and did whatever it took to get the plumbing installed. Got an e-mail address?

Can't be of much help - haven't found an original untouched  70 Evap Shelby to put up on the rack and take a bunch of pictures yet

Not sure if they used a system the same as the Mustang - which would require two lines - divided at the passenger rear frame rail for the valve or something else

Can offer currently only the front start of the solid line  - attaches to the top of the charcoal canister goes back to the firewall then down the driveline tunnel to the back of the car






And a picture of the line following the rear frame rail (wheel side) at the drivers side rear to the flex line and into the trunk area




Checked and tried. - SAAC site might turn up and owner or two that might provide some additional pictures
