Here's a jpg out of the series five FSM, Fuel and Emissions section. It's a better view than the series four FSM.
One of the two hose is vacuum. It comes from a nipple about a half foot directly below the plastic, two nipple, water thermo valve.
None is worth fixing if the double throttle diaphram is busted. Check to see if it's any good. Put a piece of vacuum hose on the diaphram and suck on it. It should move the diaphrams linkage to the throttle body. IF it won't hold vacuum, you need a new one.

Not easy on a series four non turbo nor a Turbo. I don't really remember much about it, even though I've replaced one once on my non turbo.
Seems it's almost easier to just remove the throttle body (four nuts and some knick knacks) to give you more room. It also depends a bit on what type clamp is on the bottom of that hose and whether a pair of needle nose pliers can get at it. It's the hose that feeds the throttle body and flows on to the fitting on the side of the BAC and then flows on to the back of the water pump housing.
Like I say, I don't remember a lot about how I did it.
Seems the last guy who put that one on your engine used a screw clamp. IF he did that at the bottom. tuff.

what makes it difficult to remove is that the other end of that hose is going to a large nipple on the rear iron. that nipple provides coolant to the throttle body and is a pain to remove due to the lack of space available to get pliers in there to compress the spring clamp. HAILERS said good luck if its a worm gear/screw type clamp because its even harder with one of those installed. at that point you are picking up the manifold while a buddy gets his fat hands in that tiny space with a screwdriver to loosen that clamp.

My dad and I spent a good few hours using long needle nose pliers trying to remove that hose after it broke down at the bottom. It can be done, but it is a pain in the butt. If I had to do it over again I would take the UIM off and replace it with a dealer supplied hose.
