1984 TRans AM 5.0 engine. Emission hose routing TVS
I removed all the hose routings & TVS switches 5 years ago. I did not take a picture before removal. Bagged them to keep but they are gone(?).
I believe that I need all this stuff on the car to pass the new Ontario Canada new safety check (horrendous) standards when I want sell car.
I have the routings diagram.
I know there are three TVS .
I think there is one on the thermostat housing, one on the front of the intake (?), 3rd (?).
Each TVS is different & has its own part # by colour and install location.
Purple 2-port (standard motor parts) smp# PVS27
Black 2-port EGR smp# PSV48
Dark Blue smp# PVS67
Are these part#s correct for this car?
Can someone post a picture of or list as to the exact locations or the TVS units by colour?
I will have to purchase the EGR valve & heat riser later.
Much appreciated.

There are three TVS- One for vacuum advance, one for ERG + Canister, one for I believe the heat riser.
When EGR valve fails, we would place a ball bearing in the vacuum line. Heat riser would be treated same way. The seized so often
