where can i find the larger hose and fittings? already got two new pumps i dont need

If you’ve already replaced the air pump and still have P0410, the large hose and fittings you’re talking about are part of the secondary air injection plumbing that runs from the pump to the check valve and into the exhaust manifold.
On most Cadillacs, those hoses aren’t always sold separately through the dealer. They’re usually part of the air injection pipe assembly or the pump outlet hose. You can sometimes find them through:
• A GM dealer parts department (ask for the secondary air injection hose or pipe assembly)
• Online OEM parts sites like GMPartsDirect, GMPartsGiant, etc.
• Salvage yards, which is actually a common solution since those hoses are often discontinued or expensive new
• Aftermarket silicone or high-temperature hose if the original is just cracked or broken (as long as the diameter matches and it can handle heat)Before replacing more parts, also check the air injection check valve and the metal pipe going into the exhaust. If that valve fails, exhaust moisture can travel backward and damage pumps and hoses — which is why many people end up replacing pumps multiple times.
If you can share the year and engine size of the Cadillac, it’s easier to point you to the exact hose location and part number.
