okay lets start with the right engine. unless this is some model only released outside of the states toyota didn't use a 3.5 engine. in 1994 they had a 3.0 and 1995 they went to a 3.4.

Follow the upper hose till its dead end, do not remove the clamp-remove the 2 bolts-reverse the process for reinstallation.
