The factory routing has it turn and run across the ledge in front of the battery
box. There is a clamp at about the centerline of the car. Then down along the
face of the firewall on the RH side and the inside of the RH frame member. ISTR
there's another clip in this area, but don't recall just where offhand ... most
likely to the frame rail. The cable makes a big, sweeping curve to come up
through the floor behind the handbrake lever (though that odd bump in the
handbrake boot) and back through the side of the gearbox tunnel.
On my car I found I had to add a section of slit rubber hose where it went
through the floor, to keep it from abrading against the edge of the floor.
