Carbed stock V8 engine bay pictures wanted

Specifically I'd to see how the heater hoses were run on something like a LG4. Without AC or a smog pump would be best.
I swing my heater hoses over to the strut tower and then to the manifold and water pump. Never much cared for the look although it does provide access to the valve cover when service is needed. Seems to me that on my now retired 84 the hoses ran along the valve cover but I can't recall exactly.
Done a search but with no luck. Lots of TPI stuff and hot rods but no stockers.
Anyone?

My 84 is stock and the heater hoses run out of the firewall and along the passenger side valve cover.

That's more or less how I remembered the originals on my first 1st 3rd gen (I've had 5 I think). It's just that with all the maintenance I've had to do over the years, accessing the valve cover on the passenger side is a pain with the hoses in the way.
Thanks for the pic.
And yes, they all need a bath now and then.
