No doubt you've contacted your local EAA chapter, or even someone at technical, so assuming that, I'll offer that you can't go wrong lavishly copying the P-51 setup. There's never been a bad word about it; if properly done, it's drag-neutral (or nearly so); and it ought to fit nicely on the bottom of the aft fuselage which should keep the plumbing light and simple. See if you can find someone with a P-51 who'll let you have a close look. Or maybe get in touch with the guys building the Thunder Mustang, they ought to know how to build the Mustang cooling system.
Good Luck!
Post some pictures!
