Default Steering rack installation/line reconnection question

I'm reinstalling my steering rack now that I've got my new heads (TEA 5.3L SII :D), TR 224 cam (:D) and some assorted other good stuff (ARE ported LS6 oil pump, Cloyes timing kit, JWIS chain, etc. :D:D), and I've got a quick question:

I thought I had a picture of this part when I took the rack out, but I don't, so does anyone know if the line from the power steering cooler goes into the 'upper' or the 'lower' connector in the gearbox? I just want to make sure that I don't hook the darn guy up backwards.

I think it goes into the lower, but I wanted to verify. A search revealed lots of stuff regarding the rack removal, but nothing about reconnection.

Thanks!!

the power steering cooler connects to the lower port on the gearbox. The upper port connects the hose that swings back under the gearbox and goes up to the pump.
