Bend it downwards or cut it down.

For the C20XE Conversion, as per TV's Guide.

Cut the pipe on the matrix down so you can fit the hose before putting the matrix in the car. Enlarge the hole in the bulkhead so you can fit a wiring grommet big enough for the hose to pass through.

Don't worry about doing all that, just chop it down a little, will be fine.
