AC line for a 96 LT1

I'm sure they're mostly the same but I need the top one that goes from the top passenger strut tower (I think that is the reserviour there) routes towards the front and goes underneath next to the alternator close the the radiator.....

The clasp that kept mine away from the alternator was misplaced causing the alternator to put a small hole in the hose.

I'm trying to find an engine bay shot so I can circle the exact fitting...

I'm at work so i can't upload photos, but here is an engine bay - right above the passenger strut tower bar there is an ac line fitting. That hose then goes towards the frontand you can see the black rubber band that keeps it away from the alternator....

now that I'm home here is an edited pic of the exact hose. If this is the one you got in perfect operating shape, I'll send you the money tonight.

Just so you know, that hose is part of a manifold assembly coming of the rear of the compressor. I needed a new one, bought it in Advance Auto for about $60. Worst thing I did, because the damn thing is leaking at one of the crimp joints. To change it you more or less need to unbolt the compressor. It's a real pain in the neck. For the $$, get a new AC Delco one from the dealer.

How is that different from getting one from another f-body? It would be the same item requiring the same installation....
