On my 66 PG, I was replacing the starter at the same time so use a 
combination of 2 and 5. Dunno about "wrong" side of fan worked from starter 
side. Had head wrapped around brake and could just reach in far enough 
(32-33 sleeve & can span an octave) to position hose on inlet, get clamp in 
place,  and put socket on the hose clamp to tighten. Holding in place until 
clamp was tight enough to grip was a bear. Definately want to use new and 
freely moving SS hose clamp. Was not something I would want to do again.

Did try from both sides and bottom and that was only way I could reach with 
drivetrain in place.

If I ever drop the engine I will probably try to pull hose through shroud 
and leave in place. Have one of the rubber "lasts longer" from Clark's so 
should not need to replace again. Believe it or not there are times (like 
now) when being able to make the cabin "less cold" is nice.
