I purchased my gt recently and the motor was in the process of going back into the vehicle. But I'm having an issue finding where the water pump hose routes. I've got the lower hose installed it's just the top hose under the coolant fill I cannot figure out. Any help is much appreciated!!!!![
The 87 doesn't use the top hose for the water pump (I think this is what you are asking). The only inlet on should be on the bottom side of the timing cover.
Nope, they started that in the '87 model year. The return hose connects to the passenger side rocker panel pipe. I know, because my '87 SE has it.
That said, I think the OP is talking about the heater hose that connects to the thermostat neck. That one goes over to the firewall, then down to the bottom of the engine bay.

It may have been a 'running change' which means that the '87 model year saw both methods of attaching the heater hose.....
wondering if I have an old style pump with an extra fitting or if I have a line that I am missing. Any way to tell?
The smaller coolant hoses are the send and return lines to the heater core. Follow the hoses in the engine bay and see if they're all connected.
There obviously needs to be a complete circuit... whether you have the old or the new routing.
You have the older style water pump. The heater hose from there goes towards the trunk. There should be a metal tube by the dog bone that loops back towards the firewall which eventually connects to a hose that runs beside the gas tank and goes to the heater core.
