Well, I thought the vacuum line for the HVAC was that little plastic line that comes off the back of the intake and went into the firewall there right behind the motor.?

Their are 2 vacuum lines running to the passenger side hollow behind the headlight. They are a forward and return for the vaccuum canister which resides in this hollow. Got this from the GM manual. Did a bunch of research since I seem to lose vacuum pressure after a couple hour drive.
they are for your HVAC system. the vacuum line comes off the back of the intake and right by your ECM there is a Valved T-fitting. from there the vacuum ties into the firewall to your hvac controls, the other line goes across the pass fender well up to the front of the car to a vacuum canister that mounts on the underside of the passenger frame rail. that canister holds vacuum for your HVAC system. that is what its for. every camaro/firebird i've torn apart from 99-02 has all been identical having this.
Evap Fuel Feed line I recently started getting a gas smell in my air vents when car sits in traffic at idle. I talk to some people and they say there is a plastic hose that sits behind the intake in front of the air fit. I was told that either the hose is cracked or the the o ring fittings at each end have gone bad. Went to a pontiac dealer to see exactly where it is and they could not tell just show me the part and how much can somebody please show me a pic or where it is. I know alot of lt1 cars had this problem as well. What I need is to get the hose diameters so I can take it to nappa and get a aftermarket hose from them but the guy said he needs to see the exact size of the hose I really would be great if somebody could send me a pic or something on where it is and what it looks like.
