Need help with sub-zero starting assist

I just installed a rebuilt 13B, and I have one vacuum hose that I can't quite figure out. It comes from the sub-zero starting assist system resivoir, and I can't figure out where it connects to. I'm assuming it connects to the intake somewhere, as that was how I labeled it, but I can't figure out where. If anyone can give me a general area, I would be so glad. It could be the source of my terrible idle.

I never had that unit on my SE but I assume you can tee off the line going into the cruise control.

It's not a vacuum line, it feeds the sub-zero assist liquid to the intake. There is a clip at the back of the intake manifold to secure it then it continues behind the intake manifold where I can no longer see it and I cannot get my hand in there to feel it.

I see it now on the parts diagram. It plugs on the cold assist valve assembly on the lower intake.

Good Luck!
