In the bottom right hand corner with all the hoses coming out of it? Directly to the right of the first fuel injector.

That's just a bunch of vacuum lines going to various parts of your engine that are vacuum operated i.e. cabin climate control, power brakes, emissions stuff, etc.

The junction you see all the vac lines running into allows you to separate the throttle body &/or intake manifold from the rest of the engine. It helps to eliminate the guesswork when plugging everything back in. If you choose to remove your throttle body or intake manifold, disconnect the vacuum lines there rather than at the throttle body or manifold.
