It all depends on what pipe you have at the back of your engine. The black plastic one as some are different to others. Normally its a pair of Astra gte 16valve ones. Rick

You are best using the XE plastic water hose on the back as the LET one has the holes in the wrong place for the Nova really. If you use the XE water pipe you need both Astra GTE hoses for the heater matrix. If you are using the LET one you need to start joining hoses to make them long enough to reach the expansion tank.
