pretty much what ya wanna end up with. the hoses will connect to the plastic "tubes" in the firewall that go to your heater core.

Since the jdm hoses have to reach the L side(usdm driver's side) of the vehicle, they are alot longer than needed to reach the usdm heater core connections. I used the jdm hoses, mocked them up by eyeball with the engine in the car, and cut them to fit. They fit perfectly...but I have a shop with 13 new hoists I can use whenever I want, which allowed me to do it comfortably from underneath the car.

You should have enough hoss that came with the engine to do it, just make sure you don't crimp it anywhere...and from my experience it doesn't matter which goes on top or bottom.
