I have a few vac hoses that I would like to X2 check I have in the right place.

Lets start with the diagram for the 12V with EGR and Manual transmission....

(#1)So the first line I am inquiring about is this one in the following pic. Where does it go to in the stock configuration? (vac line is marked in red)

(#2)second line is in the following pic, it comes form the "valve" pointed to with red arrow and has a red line running along what you can see of the vac line in the pic. I do not see this line in the vac system diagram at all? where did it go in stock configuration?
<a href="http://s4.photobucket.com/albums/y145/pharoah007/?action=view&current=DSC041401.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y145/pharoah007/DSC041401.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

(#3) Last but not least is this line. it is connected to my TB right now and if I trace it back it runs along the firewall towards the drivers side until it disappears into the firewall at the gourmet in 2nd pic with arrow pointing to it. what is this for and where did it connect in the stock configuration?
<a href="http://s4.photobucket.com/albums/y145/pharoah007/?action=view&current=DSC04253.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y145/pharoah007/DSC04253.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>
runs to here
<a href="http://s4.photobucket.com/albums/y145/pharoah007/?action=view&current=DSC04255.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y145/pharoah007/DSC04255.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>
to help you orientate yourself in the last pic, the connector with the blue wire running in to it is the O2 sensor spade connector on the drivers side.

thanks in advance everyone and if any more information/pics are needed I can get them for you ASAP. (once I get back form Wal-Mart)

#2 is your vacuum booster. Here's a pic from the Bentley:

#3 is the "T" connection for the vacuum line you show. As for where it goes, I couldn't definitively answer that, but isn't it part of the "Y" connection in the first pic?

As for the others, they look good to me.

the way the line has a "Y" up near the front of the I.M. sure looks like a auto. Manual trannys do not have that "Y"

but it does appear on another booster diagram. D'oh! Fail. Oh well, I'll keep looking for you but it's probably in vain as I don't have the same model. :-(
