Hi,
   I brought it up between the body of the pump and the pulley, bent it
toward the front of the van and strapped it firmly to the metal tube
that comes out of the top of the pump with a couple of hefty cable ties.
 Then I routed it back around to the right near the air intake and
eventually attached to the original point.  The replacement hose is
naturally considerably longer than the stock one.  It seems to holding
up to the antifreeze well so far, but maybe it won't go 15 years.  The
point will be moot if I get a subie in there in the next couple of months.
  The other  plumbing heresy I committed recently was to replace that
hard plastic tube across the top of the gas tank with a longer flexible
one, so that it could be connected *before* raising the tank.  I did
have to position this hose carefully so that the parking brake cable
didn't rub on it.
