Default Help with identification

I am in the process of reinstalling my valve covers on my 89 and of course it can't go completely trouble free. When I was putting the driver's side cover on last night, I snapped 2 lines that look like they are vacuum lines but I can't find them in my FSM. The larger one broke right above the arrow where it goes into the rubber hose and the smaller one snapped right about where the arrow is. Can anyone help me out with these? They are not rubber and run down to the front near the canister by the headlight. Thanks.

They are likely the vacuum lines for purging the charcoal canister, routing should be indicated on the emission label on the fan shroud.
