I took a look at my 64 with A/C and the pressure hose (from the pump to the steering box) is over 50 inches long (it's kind of tough to measure exactly). I have no idea how a 29 inch one would have been installed. There is a steel 90 degree piece at the pump, then the hose part goes up beside the oil dipstick, then across to the wheel well. There is a crimped metal connector in this section. There's a double hose clamp for this hose and the return hose on the wheel well then the hose goes through a single clamp on the fender brace beside the shock tower mount. The hose then goes down the back side of the wheel well, between the hood hinge and brake master cylinder to the steering box.
In the attached photo, the hose has the metal connector to the left of the oil dipstick. You can see it go through the double clamp, then the single at the shock tower and it drops out of sight at the master cylinder.
Hope this helps
