Many better auto parts sell a variety of preformed hoses so it would be possible to get one with a 45 or 90 on one end. If you do go the plastic elbow route, be sure to get ones from a high end maker and don't use barbed cold water elbows from the hardware store as they will soften and distort.


Also, if you aren’t going for the restoration route, it is probably the cabin heater line. So you could just cap both ends it if the goal is to make the car run.
