Center of the picture. I snapped off one of the vacuum ports (goes to PCV Valve) tonight so now I need to find another one or somehow bypass it. Any ideas?

That's not the heater valve. Common mistake.

Well, either I bypass it or get a new one because mine is broke. I snapped one of the vacuum ports on it trying to move it out of the way.
