Heater hose routing

Well I am in the middle of the famous heater core replacement (with factory A/C). My ? is the heater hose coming out of my water pump travels down the front of the block almost to the bottom of the oil pan and then loops back up to the heater core, lots of hose. Is this done for a reason or just the way the factory did it? This is a 78, 2wd,400 ci, c6, with the factory a/c.
It looke like I could just run it up along the side of the other heater hose with no problems.
Thanks
Kevin

That's something a PO did, they just didn't cut the hose to length for whatever reason, just route it along side your other hose.

Thanks, that is what I was thinking. They must have had more hose then they needed.
