360 Magnum Build w/ V Belt Configuration Question

I'm running the magnum eddy air gap with LA cover, water pump and pully's with power steering. I used the stock LA hose in question and it was a ***** to get on with the long air gap fitting that came with the intake but you can muscle it on with no kinks and get a smooth profile if your patient with it. This is the second hose I installed as I did a cam swap and replaced the first hose which I had trimmed to fit. I wasn't as happy with the first/trimmed hose as I am with this one. I was definitely more patient the second time.

67Dart GTO...I mean GTGO, I have the same intake and planning the same set up. Just pulled fitting out the box, you think it might help a little to trim the fitting down shorter, cut the first 2 barb notches off of the total five, leaving 3 ? I don't think it would hurt. Yours appears fine. Motor detail is excellent, looks very good. What heads and cam specs you running?
