There is a hard line that goes into the back of the supercharger that runs along the back of the drivers side valve cover. One of the bracket bolts onto the valve cover sharing a valve cover bolt. From there you can trace it to where it goes into the supercharger. You can see it in between the throttle body neck and the drivers side surge tank if you shine a light at the right angle.
