Default Need engine bay photo please

Could I prevail upon someone to publish a photo of the engine bay that shows the installation of the main a/c hose for an automatic 350 in a '72? I am looking for how it is located as specifically as can be shown. Thanks. I'd like to see how it is laid in there with all the other hoses etc that are there.

Hello,
The hoses are mounted low next to the inner fender.
Difficult to capture in a photo.
Just what are you looking for?

If you had one straight down at the hose that has that 'horseshoe' fitting on it, that is the hose I was looking for specifically. I'm having a helluva time with that, almost feels like it's too long and makes hooking the main hose to the back of the compressor one tough sonafagun. My method was to make that connection down near the fender, and then try to hook up to the compressor. Sadly, in doing this, I bent the fitting near that 'muffler', kinking it shut and ruining it. Gotta another coming tomorrow, will try something else. Thanks Alan, appreciate it!
