help! I just made a mess of my vacuum lines

Ok, 91 camaro, TPI. About a month ago I took everything out of the engine bay to paint it, and now I'm trying to put it all back together. I labeled everything, but apparently the sticky labels fell off of a few of my vacuum lines. So I've got this one line, the only label it now has says 'horn'. I didn't know my horn had a vacuum line, and I can't figure out where it goes into the horn. Then there is a T and another hose end. My guess is this goes to the cruise control, since I've got a place for a vacuum line there. ??? Assuming I got all this right, where does the third end of the line go to? Probably somewhere along the firewall, or else to the manifold. But where? Help!!!

there's usually a routing diagram on a decal for all the emission lines. most if not all of the formed lines only work in one location and if you gat all the ones atteched you know where they go it leaves only a few to sort out. just take it a step at a time. if you think it goes to the cruse put it there, you have 3 ends to chose from, try one and see where the others fall, if that doesn't work move to another end. you might get lucky and find someoen with a car/ engine combo like your's and get a pic. doesn't hurt to look in a manual.
