IML: 1960 Rear Air Question

Hi all,just installing the restored rear air unit and plumbing into my
Le Baron. Lots of adventures. I have a question for anyone who has
rear air, Larry Blomburg might know this as he's been a brilliant help
with supplying a bucket of pics for me to go by, a real savior. Has
anyone had their rear unit apart and noticed a waxy sheet of what
seems like thick gasket material under the main box? My question is
where does this belong? Under on the inside of the water tray or under
the water tray itself to cushion between the water tray and the car
body?
Also another interesting thing is that the unit I have came from
Lowell's and he sent very specific notes on where the plumbing goes
under the hood. Now most rear pipes I've ever seen including Larry's
run from the front of the engine bay directly from the rear of the
compressor and by the battery. This model has a pipe running from the
regulator on the firewall, round the back of the transmission and down
under the right side. Likewise the thick pipe runs around the back of
the engine. I know this is correct because Lowell supplied me with
factory brackets that support the pipe and lead me to believe that
this is an original setup. Has anyone got or seen rear air plumbing
set up like this on 1960 or any other years for that matter?
Cheers and thanks,
Luke
