Heater core inlet/outlet question

Is the smaller hose connection(on left) the inlet and the larger(on right) the outlet on my '86 camaro?

When coolant leaves the HC, it should never go back to the manifold. It should go to the water pump, radiator, or lower radiator hose.

Coolant should leave the manifold, go to HC, then return to water pump or radiator.
