No pictures as dont have a dirty thirty here but it returns around the drivers side. Ducks behind the head and goes into the intake manifold near the firewall in a real karnt of a spot.

Actually i have a feeling itll be soft line all the way and only the twin cams ran the hard pipe up to the firewall. Go and have a look next to the thermostat housing up the front. Sorry dude been years since I've worked on a sohc.

The twinkys have a metal pipe that goes up the block under the intake and goes soft round the corner for about 100mm then hard line til it spits out at the manifold and soft again or hard with banjo pending set up. Being na originally you my need to t piece a return in not sure if they bung it off or if its in use on aspirated motor.
