Default Help with intake removal. Pics inside

Decided it was time to get the oil pressure sensor replaced and the intake cleaned up. What a dirty mess the engine is. I got the intake off with little issue. I did however break a vacuum line and I need help identifying it and if it's even still available. I've posted pics. One is an accordin looking line on the driver side. I also need the fitting that connects on the pass side valve cover that is cracked.

I have a good bit of oil around the sending unit. Are they known to leak?

Thank you in advance. This is my first venture into the LS engines, so take it easy on me.




I need the small elbow coming off the valve cover



I broke this line. Is it available? Am I screwed?

On the drivers side is part of the evap system. The other side is the pcv system. As far as I know, both are available.

Yes oil pressure sending units do fail, they show very high oil pressure and they sometimes start leaking oil, lots of it.
