Trans flush question

Which hose is the return line to the trans on a 90 4cyl? I have done trans flushs
es on a few other cars but don't want to guess as to which hose I take off the trans.
I also noticed today that if I turn on my blower motor the engine idle kicks up automatically( and the radiator or coing fan kicked on) is that normal? My last problem is finding the mouse that I believe is living in the car!! I left a duffel bag in there with a granola bar in the drink holder b
Netting. This morning I pulled the granola bar out of the netting a d the foil packaging was all chewed up, on my way to buy some traps. I guess its better than having them chew on the wires!

Bump, anyone ever done a "bucket flush" on the trans? Taking the trans return line off and putting it in a bucket.

I didn't do it, but i had this done a shop. They took off the line and started the car and let it pump the ATF out into an oil collect bucket . Becareful not to run it for too long, I think they ran it for only 10 seconds then stopped then added new fluids, then repeated that a few times. Took about 8qts of ATF.

Just take off both hoses and check (run the engine for a bit).

Is the A/C on at the time when you turn on the blower motor? That would turn the radiator fans on "low" (series), and bump the idle due to the A/C idle-up solenoid.

My Alltrac had some A/C hose insulation that was eaten when I got it... Luckily it isn't too noticeable and I haven't seen any other damage.

For your reference, the A140 may still be identical but not sure however:
