Definitely not doable.

I did the ACD relocation and it's an interesting project. I used the Evap can line to feed the pump since it's the same size and basically the same length as stock ACD line. Tricky part is connecting the line to the center diff. Was something like inverted flare line, -5 to -6 adapter, -6 line, 14mm/-6 banjo. At the back I just used a 5/16 hose with double hose clamps on each end to see if it'll work and hasn't leaked so I haven't touched it.
Making the bracket was probably the most challenging part. Can post a pic if you want but would be hard to see really what I did.

I'm starting to realize how lazy I'm getting LOL. I'd swap in a mechanical diff, but it sounds like the ACD can be tuned to work better.

I thought using the factory line already mounted was really clean and made a few things simpler. If one day I run a -6 line for fuel I'll run a second for the ACD and move it from the driver to passenger side. For now though, the driver side has a perfect location to stuff it since I didn't want the pump in the trunk and muffler is all kinds of in the way on the other.

Why didn't you want the pump in the trunk? Guessing an attempt to keep the weight down low?
I just finished up relocating my ACD and while part of my motive was to shed weight over the nose another motive being that my car sees snow was to keep it out of the elements as my factory pump sh*t the bed.
For my line I opted to be super legit and used 5/16" brake line bent it up nice and flared it. Building the line sucked hardcore. I can see a braided line being much easier or using the evap line and coming up with a solution to connect it to the xcase and pump but I still have EVAP thanks to MA inspection rules. But I felt in the end that a hardline would come out cleaner which I think was my end result as I even was able to sit it in the clips where the brake lines run.
In summary if you wanna just get it done EVAP line or braided will work fine. But if you wanna hate life use a hardline.

I thought the install would be cleaner having the pump outside of the car. Plus if I ever converted the car back to streetable, I didn't want to have to listen to it. Just seems like the right thing to do 
Heres the main bolts holding it in place. I cut a long section off the OEM bracket, tilted it over 90deg, and welded it in place to give a second bolt hole. Doing it this way wasn't completely solid as is so I added the angled strap in the second pic that stops the mount from moving back and forth. Now its completely rock solid and the pump is mounted with the factory isolation bushings. Could have lost more weight making a custom bracket but this was easy to just get it done and has worked so well that I haven't bothered trying to make something different.
