Default Expansion Tank Area Question

I am looking to replace upper/lower radiator hoses, expansion tank/straps, and heater hoses. I looked in the AIM and saw the "T" area under the expansion tank. The AIM is not very clear as to what the "T" is and what hoses (other than the heater hose) run under it. Does anybody have time to take a digital photo of the expansion tank? I would appreciate it. I will try to attack this job this weekend and I dont want to cut $30 hoses incorrectly. I have a 1970 454 w/o A/C.

Thanks in advance.

Matt

I have an early 70 small block with expansion tank. Your welcome to stop by this weekend and take a look at mine if you'd like. I don't have a digital camera. E-mail me at red70vette@hotmail.com
