Need a few pics, got any of the throttle cable or rad hoses?

[cpom]

I'm doing a 3800 engine swap into a pickup truck and trying to figure out if the oem rad hoses will work with my radiator. Does anyone have a pic of the engine bay and how the coolant hoses are routed?

I also need a pic of how the throttle cable bracket is set up on this motor. Seems like the cable needs to point way up in the air almost vertical to work. I am building a bracket since I don't think I'll have the hood clearance.

Thanks for any help.

if you're 3800 engine is 99 and up it shouldnt have a throttle cable it should have a TPS (Throttle Positioning Sensor) what year is the engine?

It is an 02, but I am using the older style intake manifold and throttle body to get a cable actuated throttle.

That's the only pic I have thats remotely close. I can get better pictures of the hose routing and closer pictures of the throttle cables after work tomorrow if you still need them.

Thanks I realize I should just buy one of those brackets from a junkyard instead of trying to build one. I don't need any pics now thanks anyway.

What I'd like to know is if the radiator has the top port (inlet) on the drivers side and bottom port (outlet) on the passenger's side?

Nevermind I can see the upper hose in the pic connected to the driverside of the radiator.
