I think you are in over your head. You need to sit down, take a deep breath, and learn about what all these sensors and things are your working with.
If you need pictures this tells me you don't understand how the things work and need some serious reading time.

Well lets think about the basic systems here.

Brake booster
PVC
You have the Fuel pressure regulator that needs vac
You have your HVAC controls
Cruise control
Charcoal canister
Your EGR is now non functional, and you should fix that in the chip.
Is your car MAP or MAF?

I guess what i'm getting at is, everyones gonna have it different and have done a different setup. You need to know what is functional and not on your car, and where to put things.

Re: TPIS miniram HELP!!

Sorry I can't give you pictures here, but I guess what i did was the following: Hope this helps!

I had to remove alot of vacuum lines & fittings from the original system & attach to the new. Brake Booster tube & PCV fittings on the driver side. MAP sensor & AFPR fittings on the passenger side. Coolant Temp switch & the antifreeze passage fitting on front. That was just about it, at this point I have gotten the intake on & new MSD ignition hooked up, now I just have to run the fuel lines & attach a pressure gauge on the shroeder valve. In addition to that, route all my vacuum lines accordingly to make it look nice.

The fitting that was originally beneath the TPI plenum needs to be removed & manually placed into the ductwork for safe operation. TPIS provided me a wire extension to extend from the sensor origination point (near the dist.) to the point in which you choose to mount it. Hope that helps ya!!

Re: TPIS miniram HELP!!

With a little extra finagulling (sp?) you can also run the entire wiring harness to the front of the engine and the injectors underneath the air gap on the MR...
