Default 1989 4wd swap

Okay so I have one last then to get the mj up and going!
I just finished the 4wd swap have a HPdana 30 up front with a Chrysler 8.25 29 spline in the back 2.5l and ax5 with a np207 t case.
​​​​​​The Problem; I need to know how to run the vacuum lines to the t-case since the truck was 2wd where do I t off the in place system?

The vacuum system is only needed if you're running an early-model front axle that has the disconnect in the passenger side shaft. If you have such an axle, you'd be wise to replace it with a cable shifter, or eliminate the issue entirely with a one-piece shaft.

To answer your question though, right where heater and AC connections come through the firewall, there's two vacuum hoses. One connects to a tee in the vacuum system. That tube in the vacuum system is what you want to tap into... The other connection goes to the front axle as stated above.
