Trunk Latch Vacuum Hose Routing & clips

I am in the process of trying to install a Vacuum Trunk Latch Release on my 66 442. I can find info in the Assy Man on where to mount the Vacuum Canister and Switch, but I need the info on how/where to route the vacuum line to the trunk area, and what type of clips to use. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Randy

No 66 owners out there with a Vacuum Trunk Latch Opener?

I scrapped a '66 442 last year that had the same option. The vacuum line runs in the channel or gutter under the passenger seat up over the rear seat bottom area, up through the rear seat brace area & along the passenger side hinge, then into the trunk lid & through the curvy area finally attaching to the nipple on the solenoid. I don't have any pictures, but might have some of the clips for attaching the vacuum hose into the trunk area. It will take me a few days to get the time to dig for them though.

You need a bracket thing that goes in the rear passenger footwell; the purpose of which is to keep your friend from standing on the line.
