There's only two, one huge one that runs over to the brake booster and one tiny one that runs to the AC vent stuff inside the car. That is it. There's no way to hook them up wrong since there's only 2 ports of different sizes on the back of the intake.

No; the AC would continue to blow cold if the small vacume line was not connected at the back of the intake manafold, however, the cold air from the AC system could not enter the passanger compartment because the air vent would be closed (I think)....

If you dont have the tiny line hooked up, the AC will still blow cold or hot or whatever temp its set to, BUT, it'll only blow out the defrost vent. The vacuum line controls the vent passages.

If the small one isn't hooked up make sure the intake is plugged off or that could give you a vacuum leak.
