Good job...no apologies needed. We don't get to do these jobs every day and so we learn as we go, sometimes missing something very obvious in hindsight (what isn't?).

I'll go ahead and jinx myself now. My 2000S has 132K miles and, as far as I know, has the original AOS. I've thought about doing the job preemptively but given what I've read about failures of AOS replacement parts, I'll stick with mine for now.

Enjoy your car tomorrow!

I waited the full 24 hours for the silicone to cure on my Rube Goldberg repair of the AOS hose. Hit the key she fired right up. No oil leaks no vacumn leaks I'm a happy camper .
