Don't worry, the vacuum hoses weren't nearly as bad as I expected them to be.

Don't forget the two on the PS pump!

Check the sticker on your hood... most/all the lines are there.

Haynes and Chilton's also have detailed diagrams for wiring and hose routing. Good luck with the last of your install! I'll be following in your footsteps with my aged V6 block this summer so wish me luck, too. Stupid transverse V6 setup...
