upper radiator hose

[ClassicFrancis81]

I have an 81 K10 and swapped in a vortec 350 engine with serpentine belt drive. If I use the stock upper the hose for the turck, it goes directly through where my A/C delete pulley will sit ( drivers side, above power steering pump ). Is there any molded hoses that will fit around it, has anyone else had same issue ?

This is an a/c hose for an 84 maybe these pics will help.

Looks like that may just work, I'll check out parts store and update with hose that works. Thanks.

Ran into the same thing recently converting my 85 to serp. Went to Barrret Jackson and found this. The 90 blazer upper rad hose is the ticket. You'll need the thermostat housing as well or an adjustable one to get the right angle of the dangle.

Used stock upper for 81 W / A.C. going to trim engine side down and twist a little to bring lower from hood.
