Pro-Connects are really the ONLY way to go with Air America regs. I have a Pro-Connect on my minimag and I love it.
As for hose routing, sometimes you need to get creative depending on how clean you want it. My minimag, for example, is rediculous as far as the airline goes. For a basic set up I would along the same lines as what Muzik said, but with a few minor changes(if possible)
from teh tank output port i would start with a 90* elbow, then add the SS braided line, then the pro-connect(female), then take the male end of the Pro-connect, and add that to another 90* elbow and the add those to the valve.
OR
If you want a setup that doesnt have the hose hanging off of it while not on the gun(doesn't bug me, but to some it may drive them crazy) I would go with the 90* elbow, the male end of the Proconnect, then the female proconnect connected to the SS hose, then a regular quick disconnect(female), then the male end connected to an elbow and into the valve. This way when not in use you can disconnect the hose from the tanks, and still have the tank on, or "gassed up" if you will.
There are sooo many ways of doing airlines, it really depends on the application and how clean looking you want it. I would suggest doing one thing before anything else though....
test fit all the pieces the way you want them laid out, and then when you are happy with the layout, then add the sealant(loctite)
This is an example of how cleanly airlines can be done(just takes a little immagination)
Hope it helps some.
