I am replacing the vacuum lines. What is this called and is it easy to find?

I was also wondering where this harness should clip to. It goes to the fan. The Engine is an '88 LO3 if that matters.

The valve looks like the htr, a/c, and cruise check valve. Should have three vacuum lines into it. GM part# 14056648.

You can also find those check valves in the 'Help!' section of most autoparts stores.

Yup its a check valve. About 3 bucks at an autoparts store. Other pic is the fan wiring clip. It attaches to a hole on the fan shroud.

Thanks! I got the check valve and finished the vac lines.

I don't see any place within the range of the fan harness that the clip could mount to. There just isn't enough slack. I guess I'll just zip tie it to the shroud.
