A/C line movement?
Ok I just made the mistake of unbolting the bracket that holds the a/c freon line to the frame (the piece in the middle of the pic). It popped and sprayed freon everywhere until I was able to grab the two lines and shove them together long enough to get the bolt back on. I guess I'm going to have to have my a/c serviced next summer...
Anyways, what did you guys do to move this line to fit the intake pipe?

You need to have the AC system evacuted and pulled down to a vacuum to keep moisture out. Leaving it alone will allow moisture to saturate the drier, making replacement neccesary.

Yes, have it serviced. Moisture is the biggest problem for a/c systems. If you do it now the descant(spelling) sack -dryer-won't need to be replaced. The only expense will be the labor for the evacuation/recharge and how ever much freon is need to replace what was lost. You can probably get away with waiting but I don't feel the risk vs. cost are worth it. By the way, your defrost won't be effective without a charge either.

Ok, I will have it service but just how soon does it need to be done? The car is not currently driveable and won't be for about another month. Will this be ok or should I just throw on an intake pipe and drive it N/A to get it serviced?
