Default HVAC Controller Vacuum Sorce

So I'm assuming that the Hose nightmare going into the HVAC Controller are all Vacuum Lines. So one of them must get its source from the Intake Manifold on the Engine. Any idea what the Vacuum Hose routing is ? When I replaced the Engine I did not hook anything up that wasn't necessary to make it run. My Controller is showing signs of failure and I'm willing to do most anything to avoid removing it !

The grommet just right of center behind distributor and right cylinder head is harnesses and also the vacuum source for the AC (inside the car). The grommet opening is in this image posted recently by ChumpVette.

In the FSM you could likely use 8A-201-18 (Fig 37) as a reference.

Ok, your responce and the link answer my question perfectly. I'm using a Super Ram. It sounds as though there might be a Check Valve probably to keep from blowing a line under the dash with a back fire. It sounds as though the line I want comes threw the Firewall.
