Vacuum tube question

It's not clear in the PET nor in my manuals, exactly where do these tubes go. Anyone help me out here?

Thank you for finding this for me!
I thought that this was the case but the tube seems short. Perhaps I broke it in my disassembly. And thank you 78F350!

this is the best vac diagram I've seen. This one is for my 01 base, ymmv.




Item J is a vacuum switch (I learned them as a VSV) and is located under the left intake plenum. It has an electrical component (wires) It switches the system vacuum on and off for the butterfly valve Item K..

I've been through this recently, and for I while I'll have a pretty good memory about it.
