2.3 heater tube routing.....

-having a problem routing my new coolant tubes on my '88 auto 'bird.  the trans dipstick tube is interfering with the EGR tube/heater core tube that runs around the back of the engine.  any one have a pic. showing the setup on an auto?  the dipstick tube wont let the EGR tube aling correctly to screw into the exh manifold.  actually its the dipstick tube bracket that mounts to the bellhousing, or am i missing the correct mounting point?  its been too long since i removed them.....:mad:

Last I checked the Dip stick tube bolted down to the lower intake. Right where it and the upper bolt together. The rear inner most bolt should have another bolt on top of the head of it that is for the dip stick tube. It is held down buy a 10mm nut.
