^^ this is exactly it. Cut off the small block opening on the air box, fasten and seal the new hose block to the air box. Use a 3" hole saw to cut through the fender and the engine bay panel to allow for the hose to run from the modified air box to the snorkle body. I used 3 self tapping screws to hold the a-pillar mount to the body and then the 3 supplied screws to hold the snorkel to the mount.

After affixing the snorkel. is it possible to install bushwacker flares too ???
Or does the space become insufficient ?

Dont bother routing the hose this way it is a total waste. The flex hose hangs low and has no protection at all from the tire and r debris. On my ARB I relocated the computer and sealed the front of the airbox and routed the hose up high and protected above where the tire can be and entered the box from the side. This is the best approach to this and I have been running it for a year with no issues. I can take some pictures when I get home.
