Picture 4: It goes into a bundle of wires and hoses that goes into the wheel well. I could not see where it goes, but I am pretty sure it goes to the charcoal cannister that is in the wheel well

Picture #1 This is where the headlight attaches. It is in the center, back of the intake manifold. It comes from the passenger side. you can see two plastic pieces in it. first one is just a check valve, second one splits to the vacuum from the lights to the interior for climate control I think -- Might be down to the cruise control.. The solid line coming from the top goes to the transmission. I can see it might be time for a new one for me!

@wajulia Thank you so much for all the great pictures! I'm hoping to get time this weekend to start digging but those pics are exactly what I've been looking for an unable to find. Thanks for taking the time to help, the kind of stuff in this thread is why I registered

edit: I took a few minutes at lunch and now that I know where I'm looking, found the missing headlight vac line. Got them working again!

Great! Trying to pay back, I have gotten such great help in this forum.

The haphazard way the hoses and wiring was thrown on top of this engine could be a case study for an engineering school on how not to do things. There are many more on that silly car -- If I remember correctly, to get the AC compressor and bracket off you need 5 different types of wrenches including one metric one. If you work on a japanese car of the same vintage you can disassemble the whole car with 3 wrenches.

We are all hear to help each other.
