The hose was just standard hydraulic hose rated way beyond anything the engine could ever produce. All said and done I think it was less than $50 for both of them.

Yes, that looks to be the correct way to route the heater. No idea on the bolt size as I don't have the jeep at my place currently.
$50 for two hydraulic lines?! That's a good deal! Parts alone costs more then that. The shop I went to didn't have fittings that would fit on the oil cooler so they would have had to weld on regular 1/2" hydraulic fittings onto the hard lines which would have cost me as much as it will to make nice shiny lines as described in the above link.

The second picture looks like it, but hard to tell without seeing where it connects to the IP. Does the engine run yet? If so, suck on the hose and see what happens, engine should bog down/shut down without much effort.
Got it thanks
