Working on a 1990 LX 5.0 AOD vert. Have new headers mounted with new BBK catted H pipe still in the box. Confused about how to re-secure the air tube that runs from the H pipe to the smog pump. There was a bracket that supported this tube attached to the lifting eye on the stock configuration but I am not going to re-install the lifting eye with the new headers. Anybody have a slick way to secure this tube so it won't flop around? Deleting the smog stuff is not an option in my state. Thanks!

there should be a slot on the end of that bracket that slides behind one of the header bolts if my memory serves me right, kind of like the bracket on the dipstick tube.
