Steam line routing for lt1 transplant

I have transplanted a 95 lt1 into a 70 AMC AMX. I would like to thank all of you for your wealth of info on this forum during my transplant. However i ran my steam line to the top drivers hose ( have a 94 lt1 hose with tee ).
Will that cause any problems? Would I be better off teeing the steam line into the smaller heater hose and just replacing the top radiator hose? Also I have a 94 trans with a 95 ECM. When I had the ECM flashed I did not know there was a difference. Any suggestions on what I should do?

I tapped the back of the waterpump below the themostat. I have been running mine like this for 6 years with no problems. It looks cleaner than teeing a hose. When the tb is installed you can't see it.
Hope this helps

I think your hose should be ok, if you choose to leave it.

94 and 95 PCMs are the same, so there is no issue there.

thanks for your help. The 95 pcm was flashed without telling the programmer that a 94 4l60e was behind the 95 engine. The pcm was originally with the 95 fbody engine. The original 95 trans was trashed so i used a 94 fbody low mile trans that I had. I also had a 94 harness that i had redone to fit the amx so I can put the ecm in the car behind the dash and deleted all the unecessary connectors. I did change the optispark pigtail connector to the 95 vented unit.
