Chevelle rear wire harness routing

It’s been so long that I can’t remember how the wire harness transitions from under the rear, driver side passengers seat to the back of the car.
I ran the AAW wires in the flat plastic conduit. My guess is that once it goes behind the panel that’s behind the seat, it jogs to the drivers side

and enters through a small hole at the front of the trunk. Does it simply climb up over the wheel hump as see seen in this pic?

From there I know how it’s routed, attached the the brace and then run along the underside of the trunk opening.

Thanks. (As you can see I had a bad outcome with the Guru truck spatter paint that came out like a fire hose. TOO BLUE.).

Is that hook on the driver side wheel well hump for the wire harness?

I can't tell you if this is 100% correct but here are mine. I believe the top picture is the most correct car.

Thanks. I’ll reroute to the hole shown in the upper picture. I don’t have the hole seen in the other pic, perhaps mine is convertible.

Interestingly your pics don’t show that metal strap or hook that my car has. Anyone know what’s that’s for?
 
Mine, although it's a 66 hdtp........pretty sure it's right, as there was a clip on the wheelhouse waiting for a wire loom.

My vert has the clip in the same place that John's car has it. Obviously verts had a different harness routing.
Probably because verts don't have the brace that your hardtop had.
