Heater Hose?? I searched & searched

On my 88 (LO3) where does the heater hose go that curves down from the heater core go? I need to replace it when I change out my Heater core. Do I need to jack up the car to remove the lower end of the hose or what? Pics would also help. Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide for me.

Your car should have a 5/8 heater hose that goes into the intake manifold behind the alternator and a 3/4 hose that either attaches to the water pump (early model) or goes into the radiator just above the upper transmission cooler line. Your 3/4 hose should go to the radiator since its an 88 but if some one replaced the radiator plug it into the water pump.
