vacuum hoses missing, where do they go??

I checked the diagram, looked in yards, no tpi cars plus posted this in TPI, but no clear responses, so I thought I might try here...

Pics/diagrams/good explanation would be great

2 pics

The small line on the last picture is a vacuum line that goes to your heater controls... and the thing it's running into is your heater diverter valve.

ok, the broken line I found doesnt seem to do anything when I hook up either lines. Which one is the hvac controls, and what does the other thing do? Main concern is getting the HVAC controls working any help? Begging over here...

I wonder if you would mind doing it in either hot pink or thicker lines please? I cant see it too good, but it looks like thats what I need to know! (heater valve) The cruise control on there, a T comes off the line and dont know where it goes, but if it isnt whats stopping my heater im not too concerned about it right now. Thanks soo much!:hail:
