Re: what the hell are these hose to

Do you have a line going to the brake booster? Do you have a PCV valve?

Re: what are these hose to

air only comes out of your defrost vents and your cruise doesn't work.

The manifold fitting provides vacuum to the hvac and cruise. It should connect to a line that winds towards the left front to the vacuum reservoir under the tray and into the firewall. Might be your other fitting as the line should have a one way check valve on it, although I can't be certain that's not the windshield washer line from the photos. Easy enough to check.

Re: what are these hose to

As stated above ,In the last photo this hose is coming from a fitting in the manifold and if its like mine it is the vacuum port for cruise control. I don't have cruise control working or need it so I plugged it of at the source ( that fitting the hose is connected to has been plugged.)

Re: what are these hose to

The line going into the firewall is likely the vacuum line for the HVAC ducts.

Re: what are these hose to

Look at the washer bottle and see if you can find the hose that comes off of it and goes into the fire wall. On my car it is connected to the little motor that is on the side of the tank.
