CT Air control valve output to exhaust - location?

Alright so I just installed a stock exhaust with a cat (going from no cat, previous owner). I was wondering where I'm supposed to plug the fresh air hose in to. The picture below shows where my air hose ended up when I put the exhaust in. Ideas? Do I have to go to the hardware store and get a hose to bridge the gap?

That bell looking shaped thing on the steel hose goes to the lower manifold,via a small piece of rubber hose(inner diameter about 5/8inch?)
Back face of the lower manifold has a Big *** Steel piped 'nipple' just for that hose.
The Small tube off that Split air pipe also goes to the 5/6 port actuators,so there should be a Small steel tube that inter-connects them,at the back side area of the lower manifold.Right where you can see the Actuator closest to the Firewall.

Ah I've got it! So now I just need to source a hose like that, I guess I can check out an auto parts store and have them match a coolant hose or something?

Thanks!

Ya,I guess so.
I am going through the same thing,starting to put an 88 together for Emissions testing.
So that is why I know what you were after.
Oh,That hose going to the AIR Valve on the lower manifold(90 degree off the Fat part of that hose) is NLA(No Longer Available).That is what I am after..lol!
