I had a similar problem with my big block 67. This is a horrible photo but the idea is to fabricate a metal tube and then use some nice couplings at the engine and radiator (I never bought the nice couplings with the old engine). If you brush it with some Scotchbrite it will match your cover and air cleaner. This also protects that long hose from getting into the alternator with the LH mount that you have. Make sure to roll some beads at the ends so the clamps don't blow off. Lots of great examples on the net that look really good !
