If it were mine i'd try to see if it would follow the shifter cable or the odometer down thru the floor so it would have some thing to support it and help protect it.

Maybe the same....
My floor has a hole/grommet for the oil pressure hose in-line with the two heater hose holes. Tucked back behind the heater hoses, out of the kicking zone. It's a 69 a108, stock routing.
(i just noticed, the original floor mat only has two heater hose cutouts, no cutout for the oil line)

Well my guess was way off, I guess they wanted to keep the oil warm...

I ran mine along with the speedo cable. again as mentioned earlier it was more for support of the line than anything until I got to the frame rail by the rad support, then up the back of the engine cover. and here is a tip, take the copper line and make at least 2 coils at the engine for the vibrations generated. just wrap the line around a socket about 1" diameter. keeps the line from vibrating loose and leaking believe it or not.

that's what I did too jkr, you don't want that engine rocking pulling the line out of the engine,
