Default 76 heater hose route

I thought that I had submitted this, but it doesn't come up on my recent topics.

I'm putting new repo heater hoses on my car and want to route them correctly. Do both hoses pass through a snap clamp holder on the inner wheel well, go under the A/C compressor, up through a horseshoe shaped bracket on the front of the A/C mounting bracket, and then to the nipple on the water pump and intake maniford?

As always, advance thanks for your help.

Off the top of my head, that sounds correct, but I will check for sure when I get home tonight.

The assembly manual shows just what you describe whether you have an axial compressor or a radial compressor.

Yep, hoses come up from heater core and heater control valve, run through the clip that is attached to the wheel well, under the compressor and then to the intake and water pump.
