Radiator hose LS Vintage air upper A/C bracket

[binford]

The Gates 21439 won't work the Vintage air upper A/C bracket.
The hose is resting on top of the idler pulley

I have the Cold case radiator with both hose connections on the passenger side.
I'm running the stock fan too.

Looking to see what others are doing.


I was ordering parts from Rock auto, so I added a Gates 22954 radiator hose that looks like it might fit. It's appx 1.25" on one end and 1.5 on the other end" and 19" long which will help too.

The new hose arrived and it's the right length and the ends fit fine, but it needs to be twisted to fit.
I had some 1.25 tubing from some other project. welded a bead around the ends and was able to turn the hose to fit.

My goal is to get this thing running.
