Help! How to connect this missing hose.

Ford says it helps warm the air going through the throttle body for better vaporization of the fuel in cold weather.
From the shop manual:
"Engine coolant is diverted through the throttle body mounting pad to improve cold weather operation."
Others on here will tell you it is to keep ice from building up in the throttle body but there is no venturi to drop the temp of the air so you would not have an ice build up.
It requires a "T" in the heater hose for the hose going to the throttle body and another hose returning to the radiator from the throttle body..

Ford never put it on the 460.
By the way the 4.9L engine never has this throttle warmer either, just the 5.0L & the 5.8L.

Thank you guys for the help, definetly learned something. Last hose question, I saw another hose that was worn and ripped on the end. It's a big one and it's on the drivers side connected to the bottom of the engine area. I tried looking it up and didn't really find much, The chilton book is ordered.
Not the smaller black hose, the one behind it. It's the only cloth type hose left.
You can barely see it, it's behind the newer black hose and runs down.
