I am SOOO frikin angry right now.
This explains why I had such a HUGE problem getting the hoses routed to the thermostat and why the return hose to the tunnel radiator seemed do long.
This is just inexcusable newbie ignorance on my part.
The MPI Installation manual assumes there is a basic familiarity with the engine in general and didn't go into any real detail on this. I looked at the photos and did my best to make sense of it.
If I had taken the time to go back to PART 1 of this post, I would have looked at my own tear down photos and CLEARLY SEEN the missing hose that I failed to re-install.
The Supercharger Gods have smiled on me!
I was able to force my big hands down in back of the supercharger and disconnect that hose and get it re-routed properly!!
BOO YAA BABY!!
LIFE IS GOOD once again.
Will need to make a quick trip to get a new piece of radiator hose in the AM, and I am back on track!!!

So.
This photo is looking straight down on the supercharger and the thermostat housing that sits just below it and to the rear, its just beneath the little green wire.
The hose you see coming off of it is the CORRECT hose the goes up and across the engine to connect on the far side of the radiator.
Previously I had run the hose from the tunnel cooler to this port.
The long hose is the one I FAILED to re-install and only discovered a couple hours ago.
Notice the disconnected pipe in the bottom right corner.
Thats where the hose will come from that connects to the opposite side of the radiator. I trimmed that hose to fit better just the other day. Obviously there was NO need to trim that hose as it was not supposed to mate up with the thermostat to begin with. My new shorter hose doesn't reach the radiator, so I will buy a new hose tomorrow.
