You could follow the frame rail on the inside where the fuel lines are, right below that plate. If you look under there you'll get the idea.

Follow upper control arm to the frame to your solenoid.

Note how the brake and fuel lines were routed by the factory. Zip tie the air line in place in a similar manner, like to the top of them, and you'll have it routed safely and out of the way.

My installer put the lines inside air Hose and then zip tied them. I thought that was a nice touch!

I followed the brake lines as Jerry said. Anywhere the line might rub I put it inside of rubber hose and zip tied it. I also used rubber hose around the line in the engine bay where it comes off the pump since it lightly rubs against the booster. I put mine in the same place as you are planning. Works great.

First, put a service loop of 2-3 coils of airline right next to the compressor. That stores a bit of extra in case you frag the other end and need some more.
From there, go down by the tray support and pick up the emissions, fuel and brake line routing. Cleanly zip tie off to that until you get to the rear brake line going down the upper control arm and then switch to that if you didn't on the way back. Tie it off to the brake line and then over to the bulkhead fitting.
