Default clutch job vacuum line woes... help!!!

Putting all the "top of clutch housing" stuff back on during my clutch job, and realized that I accidentally disconnected two vacuum lines, and now have no idea where they go. Might know where one of them goes, but sure could use a point in the right direction. Boy the speed and ref sensors and that wiring clamp on the clutch cover are tougher to get back on than take off......

First pic shows vacuum and connector, in kinda the way they want to be positioned naturally
2nd pic shows the green vacuum line coming from the valve? No idea where it goes
3rd pic shows a line attachment point under the intake. It has the red around it. Does the one in the first pic attach to it?

If so, where does the green one go? I can't find an open connector anywhere.

TIA!!!

the first one goes to the one with the red around it under the intake. The green one goes onto a place on the fire wall for the heater control valve.

that place on the firewall is under the wiring harness, right behind the cyl. head, it's a pain to get to.

Tod: Not sure on N/A models, but on turbo models, the top pic showing the vacuum line should go to the black 'nipple' on the valve (shown in third pic), the red 'nipple' should go to the throttle body (basically the opposite of what you said)????

Man, i confused myself when i said that

The one going to the throttle body is plugged in already on the valve from what I can tell in the 3rd pic??...??

Yup, you are correct. Got it all straight. The first one was easy, the second one not. Had to do it from under the car, and have the wife with her tiny hands pass me the line so I could plug it in from underneath. Took me a few minutes poking around to see the elbow sticking out of the firewall. not where I expected it to be. musta really shifted that line around.

Thanks all!
