A little more detail would help....from standing at the passenger side fender, the left two vacuum lines run to the LIM, for the right two vacuum lines -- one also runs to the LIM, the other goes to the pressure chamber and contains a check valve.

It just runs to that upper right port on the LIM that then feeds air to both the charge control and charge relief solenoids.

Which is to say it's the second from the top out of those four pass-thru hard lines of the LIM. It's not obvious when looking at the diagram.

[edit: oh, wait, nevermind that's the version of the diagram with the detail that shows precisely that - duh]

It's the second one from the top of that column of nipples - it points back and down. Circled in blue, although not clearly visible in this pic.

It should just be under a big air hose. No UIM removal required. Are you simply fixing a vacuum line that's fallen loose?
