Default 86 Corvette Vacuum Question

I need some help, My 86 I am redoing vacuum hoses where some of them has been bypassed or removed from the previous owner and looking at the hose routing diagram it shows that there is a Air Switching Valve and a Air Control Valves have vacuum to them, those valves I can not find.

They were probably removed too. Hopefully someone will post a diagram of the system components and you will be able to see what your missing.

Does that big hose at the end of the air Switching valve go to the exhaust manifold ?
