Default A/C and heater hoses

I have a 79 and I was wondering if they came from the factory with something to hold/keep the A/C and heater hoses away from the exhaust header. Mine is rigged up with some kind of chord tying it to the overflow canister. However, they are still kind of dangling in the way. New headers are my next project and I want them to clear those. Where would I be able to find/purchase whatever will hold those hoses in their proper position?

Much appreciated. I hate when people rig things and don't do it right.
