Hi 540,
The Willcox site has good vacuum SCHEMATICS in their "how to do" section on their site.
Personally I wouldn't work on the headlight/wiper door system without the relevant pages from the AIM and the Trouble Shooting Guide from Dr.Rebuild in front of me.
Regards,
Alan

Nothing wrong with the system, everything works great. Just have to disconnect everything to detail the engine compartment while the motor and front suspension are out. I will be removing all the wiring and vacuum lines. The guy before me painted everything black. I don't know if I am going to clean all the hoses or get new ones.

When removing/replacing electrical wiring or vacuum lines, wrap a piece of blue painter's tape around each wire/line end with a letter or number code and also put a like piece on the mating part. NOT doing this can become a disaster.
You can also easily restore wiring and hoses that have been painted black by using a cloth dampened with lacquer thinner to wipe them down well. Use chemical-proof gloves and do this in a fresh-air environment with a fan blowing away from you.
When done cleaning this stuff, wipe on a coating or two of Nu-Vinyl polymer protectant (or Meguiar's protectant for plastics) and the wires and hoses will again look brand-new.
This is one of the best clean-up tasks you can do for your engine compartment.

Hi 540,
Saving the original hoses, if possible, is a good idea because some folks feel that the old hoses are superior to the reproductions being sold.
Some people recommend cutting about 1/3" off the end of each hose. This gives the hose a fresh sealing area where the hose is attached to the switch, relay, or actuator. Cutting them that much almost always leaves them with more than enough length.
I agree that cleaning the hoses is quite possible.
It's a good idea though to try to find a solvent that will remove what's presently on the hoses but leaves the original colored stripes in place. The striped hoses make it a bit easier to get the hoses back in the proper place.
Good Luck!

Alan
