Where is the heater hose inlet on the 352 block?

I have a 48 Custom 8 and just recently bought a 1956 Studebaker Golden Hawk with the Packard 352. The car came from Puerto Rico and since they don't need heat there, they disconnected the heat system. I see a capped hose fitting on the back of the water pump casing. I assume this is the heater return line. Where is the inlet fitting in the block? The back of the block is real hard to see, but even with a flashlight I don't see anything. Also, the Golden Hawk uses what they call a climatizer which essentially is a heater core that sits under the passenger seat. Any ideas on how this is piped? The climatizer is still there.
