I looked on my car, and there is 1 plastic hose going to the vacuum cannister above the brake booster, and the windshield wiper fluid hose.

for the vacuum hose, actually it goes into a wiring harness, and down the firewall, but yes, from the pass side to drivers side.

I would be funny, if u know that guy, he used to take more care to his firebird than the one he takes for his own, it was a nice bird the best I had ever seen personaly, it only had 50 k milles on the clock and it was an 86, so I thinks thats the funny part about it, lol

yes, projects was the one that caught fire.

As far as I remember, of the back of the intake, you have the one hose that goes to drivers fender, then that funky checkvalve T, then on that, then them go to the heat/air.

Then you have your own seperate fitting for the map sensor, which your a 2.8, so I dont think it has one.
