Thanks everyone. I think I'm in good shape now. I ordered an adapter from JTR and will also use the VW Jetta fitting for the steam vent (it fit right in the stock upper hose). For the lower, I found a Gates "flexi" hose with a spring inside. One end has a 90 elbow and the other is straight. I was able to loop it around without kinking and attach to the pump and radiator inlet. Thanks all! Now to figure out what to do about a throttle cable for my drive by cable throttle body!
