vacuum routing

well i just finished up doing a headgasket on the bird today, but while i was removing everything at the beginning of the job, many (all) of the emmissions tubing broke. i need some help finding where everything goes. over by the coil, theres a piece that has two vac lines coming out of it, where do each one of those go? and almost under the throttle body, theres a vac line that orig. came from the firewall side towrds the throttlebody end and tee'd off. where do i put each connection? i know where each breather on the valve covers go, also where the brake booster hose goes and the carbon canister line goes. its just the couple hard plastic lines that im having trouble finding where they go. any and all help is greatly appreciated, and pictures would help tons. thanks guys!!!

Re: vacuum routing

There should be a vacuum diagram on the underside of the hood near the front if it's still there

Re: vacuum routing

One goes to the EGR under the plenum,the other one goes to the plenum up underneath, to the front, right behind the throttle body on the drivers side.Sorry no picks.
