Default Vacuum lines

I have put the upper end of my 89 back together after some rebuilding & ran into a problem. I had some help dissaembling & the guy who helped me doesn't remember, DUH! On the TPI right in front of the distrib. sits the fuel pressure reg. w/ a vacuum port, right above this are two ports for vacuum lines my prob. is that gives me three spots to hook up two vacuum lines that I can find. I don't have any pics to show, but if anyone knows what I am talking about where do these vacuum lines run to. If I can trace back to where they are supposed to come from maybe I can find the missing line hanging there. Or if anyone knows of a web page that I can go to that might show the routing of the vacuum lines would be of great help. My shop manuals really don't give me much to work with. As always thanks the help. Donf

Maybe someone with a manual off hand or a pic could help you more, but I believe that there is a vacuum line coming from the air diverter valve in front of the plenum (in between the throttlebody and ac compressor) that plugs into that area...

One goes to the HVAC system,


Note that my pic is missing the 90* elbow connector, the one way check valve and a splitter that sends another vac line to the cruise control(or is it the charcoal canister???)

The HVAC line comes out of the wire bundle (through firewall)
