Plumbed like the factory did it, the tube going to the water pump is the top hose. This is the 'cooler-water-out-of-the-radiator'hose going to the suction side of the pump. Hot water leaves the engine through the top pipe and thermostat and goes to the radiator bottom hose. Practically speaking? It probably doesn't matter much on a street car.
