Default goodyear super hi-miler hose set

OK bought this goodyear super HI-MILER hose set part 5006 so I could just go ahead and replace them all while the engine is out and I get this thing and there are no instruction at all and the box lists everything except the uper and lower rad hoses as hearter hose. lol Wich one? Has anyone used this set and feel like letting me in on what I am suposed to do with it? Car is a 97 camaro. I am guessing I am going to have to do some cutting of the factory solid lines but not sure how and where. A simple diagram of where they go would have helped.

You need to cut the sleeves where the factory heater hoses are crimped to both ends of the metal lines on the passenger wheel well, slide the factory hoses off and reuse the metal lines.
The hoses are shaped just like the factory ones they replace, you might have to trim a couple to length.

It's a flow reducer, I just got rid of mine and it hasn't caused any problems.

kind of off topic, but I'm gunna ask it...why the hell are these hoses blue? I've seen these before, and probably would hve bought a set by now if they weren't so hideous.

Just a type of rubber that is supposed to last longer. Had a set on a 83 T/A for years before the engine blew and took it off the road but not long enough to have had anything rot of the car lol.
