I can see the brackets that are spot welded to the longs (the bottom halves of mine have disintegrated along with the bottoms of the longs), but how are the J-tubes held in at the top of the long at the front (where it comes through the long and into the cabin) and at the firewall in the rear (mine appears to have brushed on seam sealer around it)?

Mine had two or three spot welds (it varied). I think they were not the last thing to go on because one of the welds was unreachable by a grinder and I presume a welder. I ended up chiselling the last one. It beat up the elbow a bit, but nothing that can't be tapped out with a body hammer. Once primed and repainted, it will be fine.
