Default Vacuum Leak

Anyone ever replaced vacuum hoses? Any ideas on how to get to them or is it something that should go to the chevy garage for?

Should be able to do it yourself, jsut take your time and make sure they all go back where you got them and they are tight.

From the back of the passenger side of the intake manifold there is a small vacuum hose that routes under the battery box to a check valve and then on to the vacuum tank mounted on the passenger door forward pillar ( visible by opening passenger door and looking between door and front fender, squarish looking black box) and then on to your A/C controls and the secondary air solenoid ( mounted behind the TAC & PCM modules ) and then routed up to the secondary air pump vacuum valve under the drivers headlight. Tank is accessable by removing right front wheel and closeout panel, two mounting screws are removed by opening passenger door and reaching the two screws, tape off the fender and door to avoid scratches, you'll need a friend to put it back in. Have fun, I did.
