If you are just coming off of the air intake tube that runs through the fender, then you will have problems. That is the primary air intake, but the original air box has other intakes that open when needed. The easiest way is to replace the stock air box with a tube straight off the carb. Just plumb the other vacuum connections into the new tube and be done with it.

I made a snorkel for my Sidekick. I used a 2" hose from a vaccum cleaner. I just removed the plastic intake which runs under the fender. Got a 2.5" diameter tube and cut it 4 inches long. I connected that tube to the box rubber outlet, I then inserted the hose and ran it along the fender through a 2.5" hole I cut on the fender and ran it to the side of the front of the door and covered it with an ARB snorkel I got for 65 bucks at 4wheel parts store.
