Snorkel Help

So even something as simple as a snorkel for my truck is proving to be a problem for 2 reasons.

1: I have a light where the snorkel bends to come up the a pillar.
2: I have three batteries and one is installed where the stock piping goes for the intake.

I am appealing to the forum for some ideas. so far the solution to the first problem is to move the light onto the snorkel and run the wires through the snorkel to the engine and out form there, of course sealing it from water. The second is the problem my first idea is to route the pipe as per normal but bend its shape into more of an oval then a circle to pass between the battery and the washer fluid tank. There is some concern that this change in dimensions and also the bends the pipe will have to clear everything might cause airflow or vacuum issues.

Thoughts?

PS: if you need pics or clarification let me know and any help is greatly appreciated.

 

pics would be nice...

Swap fenders with someone with that color truck....and get rid of the 3d battery. Why do you need 3 anyway?

 

what about mounting the battery on one of its sides?

 

The third battery is to help run all the lighting and communication equip when out in the field, as there are days when they are on for 8-12 hours while the truck it off, I have been thinking the best way to deal with the light is mount it to the snorkel and as for the pipe would be to make a oval shaped section to fit between the battery and the washer fluid tank.
