This is the actual diagram for your vehicle.it really doesn't get any clearer than this.I doubt anyone will have an actual photo of this and if they did it would not show half the info this does.If you are not familiar with all of the system components no pictures or diagrams will really help you.Hopefully this is a better diagram than what you have.

Michael, thanks, but I already have this diagram. The vacuum lines are not laid out all seperate like that they are bundled. As you know, some require vacuum, some require manifold vacuum etc etc....I was hoping for an actual picture, so I wouldn't have to un-bundle all the vacuum lines and trace them from start to finish. They absolutely crumbled, totally fell apart, even the connectors. If I had the connectors it'd be allot easier.........I guess I will just have to do it the hard way.

You mean the best way not the hard way.When you start with a blank slate this will be easier for sure.Just replace one at a time and follow the diagram.if they are all twisted and crumbled like you say,this is the way to go.Once you get into it you'll see,it's not that bad.Just stay focused.No beer,no kids,no phone,no distractions.Most parts stores sell multi vac line tee's and connector packs that you should have in hand before you start.The sense of accomplishment you'll get alone is worth doing it.One at a time.Put a little white mark on each new hose you put on.It will help to avoid any confusion if you should get distracted or otherwise have to stop.

Thanks for the advice on beer and distractions but that was really of no use to me-I fixed it on my own.

No, the idea was for someone to read and understand what someone is asking for and respond in a way to justify my time and theirs. I just wanted a photo like I asked for, not all this B.S.-Thanks but no thanks- I don't think this is the information website for me.
