Surging Idle
Just fixed cracked heads on a 93 lt1 that i bought. I was wondering if anyone had a vacuum hose routing on not only the emissions side but I noticed that there were two hoses running to the lower front of the motor not sure what they are supposed to go to. The car has a surging idle when the car gets warmed up at a stoplight, I think it is either a vacuum leak or vacuum hose going to the wrong port. Any sugestions?

thanks that helps a lot. You wouldnt happen to know where the vacuum hoses that come from the front of the engine would go or what they are for?

Also, check your intake elbow for cracks.
Same with the rubber PCV hoses:

There is one small hose with a couple of check valves in it that goes to the bottom of the engine, then there is another small one that runs behind the water pump and looks like it connects onto the timing cover
