Default '89 C4 Plenum hose line connections.

I am trying to piece this back together... I can't figure out what attaches to the center [CORRECTION] bottom connection at the front end of the of the plenum on the passenger side.

The recommendations from below suggest that this is a hose line from the firewall near the heater core... is this correct?

On my '91 L98 there are 3 ports at the REAR passenger side of the plenum. I don't have any at the front passenger or driver's side. I don't think GM would have changed the plenums that much in 2 years, or did they?

If you do mean the rear, I can get a picture for you.

Assuming you are talking about the TB ;
Top is to pass side rocker cover
center is vac pipe to drv side front wheel well
bottom is water hose

The bottom nipple is for coolant from heater core line. It enters TB there, and exits at front TB nipple, which goes to nipple at front of intake base.

That is the hose that comes from the heater.. it connects into the TB as to warm and heat the TB.. you can bypass (known as T/B bypass free mod). On the front of the T/B, there should be aport that connect to the intake maniold.
