Thanks to the holiday and a weird work schedule I have been delayed in making this update... I neglected to get any pics of the fun so here we go...
Continuing, the next day I retraced my steps, this time ensuring the offending gasket remained in place...
As you can see in this pic, the heater hoses are now in place...

Today proved productive in the sense that up until now I hadn't been able to get the blower motor to operate... With the heater hoses connected, and hot water flowing, I tackled the issue... The fuse box and wiring harness I installed had one fuse I'd placed in the slot marked fan...
I know, I know, cooling fan dummy, not blower motor... I don't have an electric fan, so the fuse was moved to the appropriate slot and now it works... Amazing how that happens...
I also made a trip to the parts house to grab some Air Duct hose so now the defrosters work as well...
Have a great week everybody...
