Since it is pulled out of the kick panel and the handle with cable does not pull all the way out. I hope I can pull the kick panel and put the retainer clip back on the panel.

I am currently setting here in the Saudi desert waiting to head home. So can't get to the car in storage. PY is one good way to stay connected to home.

Here is a picture of the car.

Was looking though my 1973 Grand Am/LeMans/GTO factory assembly manual and wanted to mention that many similarities shown/used/illustrated with the 1973 Gran Prix's (give or take 4" )...as an FYI - FWIW.

The 2nd part of the hood cable is longer on the Grand Prix , vs the A-body, but you can cut the end off & use a cable stop clips like you would use for a bike or a motorcycle if you didn't want the extra length hanging out in the engine compartment.
