Default Missing vacuum line-help!

So I have finally got to the finishing stages of my project. Engine is back in and running smooth. Now I’m sorting out some of the minor issues. First thing I noticed was that the havoc vent control wasn’t working. I figured this was a vacuum issue but I went through all the lines pretty thoroughly and knew they were all in good shape. Then I noticed my rear windshield wiper wasn’t getting any fluid... until it started coming out of the dash. Turns out I had the vacuum line that goes to the hvac controls plugged into the rear washer fluid line. Only problem now is I can’t seem to find where either of those are supposed to be connected! My searches haven’t turned up any decent diagrams I can work off of. Can someone post a picture of the passenger side of the engine bay where that vacuum line comes out from the heater core? It’s right by where the ac lines go into the body. Much thanks!

Is the thin one you are talking about? Mine is an '00 CA Emissions by the way. First shot going into the fire wall. Second is how it circles under the Purge Canister/EGR Solenoid(?). Third is how it goes in the check valve into a T where the bigger hard plastic line runs up front towards the battery. Hope this helps.

Thank you! I just had a couple hoses mixed. I had the hose for the washer fluid that comes out of the engine harness plugged into the vacuum hose going into the car and then the washer fluid hose that goes to the rear of the car plugged Into the T. I guess that’s what happens when you do a complete drivetrain swap. Mine is CA emissions also. Thanks for the help!
