Be careful tightening the hose clamp on the PTC hose.

On my 1999, I found the hose OD was exactly that of the PTC boss, so if you let the clamp slide down a bit it tightened on the boss instead of the compressing the hose.

Also, its a lot easier to install the PTC hose, then install the air induction bellows.
