Unhappy Where's this tube go???

It's a 1998 4L60E from a camaro SS. This tube was cut and pinched between the clamp and the tranny when we picked it up, and I was j/w if anyone on here has an idea as to where it goes. Thanks

PS Sry about the large photo size...

Looks like the vent tube hose that goes on the top of the trans.

Same as above. There isn't anything else for a hose to be attached to. I don't think that you need it though, I don't have one.

That is the vent tube for the trans. It originally went back to clip onto the torque arm. The idea is to get it pointed somewhere so if it does puke fluid it won't hit real hot exhaust and catch fire. Stock cats would be very hot, and close to where the nipple is on top of the trans.
In the correct location it might hit the back end of the Y pipe which isn't as hot as the cats.
