How would have the Gemini pressure suit air hoses that connected the astronauts to the Gemini interior panel been handled if the astronauts had to eject from the spacecraft?

Were the air hoses connected to a part of the ejection seat instead of the panel in front of the astronauts? If so that might have permitted an unobstructed ejection from the spacecraft. But it brings up the question of how to deal with the air hose connections in between the time the astronauts were riding their ejection seats into the air to the point where they needed to physically separate themselves from the ejection seats in order to descend to earth by parachute.
