there are more vaccum lines than that in a TPI motor compartment. There are a few little ones that T-off under or near the map sensor, one for the heater control valve, etc... It just depends if you have a Mass-Air TPI (85-89) or a Speed density TPI (90-92).

1bad91z, I realize that there are more vacuum lines but, this is just an emissions vacuum routing diagram label I copied form an 89 or so TPI camaro & made so I could get my EVAP lines back in order. I was pretty certain where my brake booster, FP, heater control valve & cruise lines went so those weren't included.

Anyone who's had to have a new hood & looked for this little tag knows, they aren't available anymore too and the emissions crap is the biggest bunch of jigsaw puzzle crap of any of the vacuum line routing.

sorry deadbird, didnt mean to criticise! yea, vaccum problems suck *** ! I still have EVERY original line and they're routed like the factory did them, but I will be replacing every one of those damn lines when I take the motor out to do the swap just to ensure no leaks.

No offence taken bud

I probably should have labeled the drawing 'vacuum line routing for emissions' or something anyways.
