little help please
so i am buttoning up after a intake gasket replacement and there are a few lines i dont remember exactly where they connect to all help is greatly appreciated. i am not a great mechanic at all but am trying to learn and do as much as i can so bear with me when i have no idea what each part is called.
on the driver side below the hose that goes to brakes there are two small hook ups for vacuum lines which line goes to which hook up
i know one of them goes to this thing (which i do not know what exactly it is) and i am not sure where the other line on this one goes.
finally on the passenger side i know one of the lines goes into the throttle body and one loops under the throttle body and hooks into a line coming out of the sheathing the fuel lines come from.
once again any and all help is very much appreciated, lets hope the rtv on the front of the intake holds up better than the ast guys to do it.

Go to Shoebox's Tech Pages.... he has photos of his 95, with details of all the pieces that connect to the intake manifold.

another question certain parts of my egr and air have been removed but others havent, are there only certain parts you can remove or is it just difficult or unneccessary to remove other parts?

You can defeat the AIR and EGR systems without removing anything. But there is no performance advantage in removing it, so most people only do it for appearance. In that case, it makes sense to remove everything.
If you unplug the AIR pump harness connector the system no longer works, and there is no code (OBD-I only). For the EGR system, you can put a thin sheet metal blocking plate between the riser tube from #8 exhaust runner and the connection at the back of the intake. No more EGR, and in OBD-I, only 20% or so get a code for the missing EGR flow.
Hopefully, any missing parts from your systems have been effectively blocked off to prevent leaks that can degrade engine performance.
