mjb.,

It is tough to tke a picture in that area with an assembled car.  I 
can tell you that the original bolt for the forward P-clip goes 
through the horizontal air pan in the outboard corner near the body 
mount.  You need to form the hose to fit first, push it onto the top 
connector pipe, then position the P-clip and install the bolt 
last.  It is a lot easier if the grille is not in place at the 
time.  That bolt has given me so much grief over the years that I 
drilled another hole inboard from the hose and turned the P-clip 
around to make life easier.
