Lower Radiator Hose Spring

I replaced the radiator, as well as the upper and lower hoses in my '71 Dart GT, back in the spring of 2019. I also added the hood to radiator seal (from DMT) at the same time.

For the life of me, I cannot remember if the lower radiator hose had the spring in it. If I were to grab and squeeze the hose, would I/should I be able to feel the spring inside?
