They are ALL vacuum lines and need to be operational.
One comes from the back of the manifold as the vacuum supply.
One goes to the HVAC Damper doors:
and the other goes to the A.I.R. pump outlet valve.
Some people have just added a brass fitting on the bottom of the tank and that works fine instead of replacing the entire tank. If it were me, I would tap the bottom of the tank for the fitting and then glue in the brass fitting as well as screw it in.

, and will work on it tomorrow. Here's your old link, #11 post... Once I realized they were vacuum lines, I didn't want to just plug the line that broke off the R-tank, but seems I've read some guys did exactly that.
