Default 1971 Vacuum Diagram Help !!!

I am in the process of fixing a vacuum problem in regard to the headlights which I have traced back to the headlight switch. In the mean time...I have obtained 5 copies of vacuum diagrams. The diagram that came with the hose kit from PARAGON and the diagram from Dr. REBUILD are the same. The one from ZIP, CORVETTE-101 and the one from VETTEWORKS are all different when it comes to the headlight switch and overide valve hose routing and they are totally different as compared to PARAGON and Dr. REBUILD. Could someone who has used one of these diagrams with success and has a properly working vacuum system please let me know which is the correct diagram to use ? Thanks in advance...Doug

The above pic has been corrected properly, and it matches our diagram, which is correct as well.

I have sent many e-mails to Corvette 101 and begged them to change their diagram since so many guys seem to find their way to that site.They dont seem to listen.Does anyone know these people well enough to get this corrected?
