I have the 67 version and will eventually do that. I took video of an A/C 68 H/O, which, to my knowledge is the only Olds with that setup factory (both A/C and hose coming up to the air cleaner like that) for reference, if you should want.

All of the scan work and measuring has already been done. The problem is,it's very costly and nobody is willing to do it. It's not simply a matter of one or two steps,there are several steps. Trust me,this has been looked @ by many who think it's an easy process but it isn't.
