Take the line that goes into the passenger side of the TB and connect it to the line that goes on the driver's side with a 3/8" hard brake line and clamp it on both sides. That's what I did. There are many others ways as well which require no other parts, but this was the easiest way on my car.

what year is your car? some years require the connector as stated above, but some (96-7) all you have to do is pull the hose off the tb and hook it up to the line over the valve cover. there is no connecting of tubes because the one tube is long enough.

i'm pretty sure the first link is for the 96-97 cars and the second link is what you have to do for third gen (tpi) cars and for the 93-95 lt1's.

those are good links...

The 96-97 is actually 95-97. I have a 95 as well, and all that I had to do was connect the rubber line to the hard line that had the 90* elbow on it. Then I discarded the 90* elbow and put some vacuum plugs on the feed and return line of the TB
