I'm doing the front end swap on my 93 with 97 parts. I noticed my vacuum bottle is pill shaped, but the 97 bottle is a small sphere.

Will it make a difference on which I use? Also, I discovered that I don't have a line running to the bottle... Where does the line originate from?

Edit: Just realized this should be under modified. Sorry.

Shouldn't matter, the line runs up the passenger fender well, connects into tTe cruise control and I forget where it goes from there. My vac canister was gone when I got my jeep, I caped the line and everything works. I dunno.

Generally, the large bottle was for vehicles with cruise control, and the small ones without cruise. Here's a diagram for the vacuum hose routing. I suggest relocating the "ball" to the passenger side rear of the engine bay.

Considering what freegdr said, I'd keep it simple and use whatever yours came with. Tucking it up in the engine bay like cruiser54 suggests is a good idea and avoids a lot of BS in the future if you have to work with your bumper.
