Default Hose under the supercharger...

Working thru my coolant hose, throttle body replacement on my 1999 XJR and found a hose from the bottom right of the thermostat housing that disappears under the supercharger and has a pretty tired looking connection to the thermostat housing.
I'm wondering if anyone has had any luck replacing this hose without pulling the supercharger.
The hose already occupies some space thru the area, can I just tape it to the old hose and gingerly pull/ push the new hose into position?
I'm trying to avoid removing the supercharger but if that's a fool's errand will bite the bullet and go that route.

There are two coolant lines than run under the SC, recommend removing the blower and do both, approaching 30 years old.
