I'm working my way through the engine bay to clean up the idle on my "new" 95 K2500 Burb. Fixing vacuum leaks, cleaning the throttle body, new plugs/wires, IAC is in the mail, etc. But I'm not sure what some of these connections are for on the 7.4L.
The arrows are pointing to the line that snapped in half when I popped the end off the throttle body (it probably had a hairline crack that I didn't notice). What is it connected to in the bottom left, and does anyone know the vac line size to replace it?

Same questions for these oily plugs on the back. They join into a tee fitting but I have no idea what they're doing. They don't fit well (old dried out rubber) which explains the oil, so I'd like to replace them, too. (EDIT: This is the MAP setup, isn't it?)

I just don't know what terms to use to find replacements.
Edit: OH! Another dumb question. I just replaced the upper radiator hose because it sagged JUUUUUUUUST enough to interfere with the fan blade. You can probably guess how well THAT worked out. How is the hose supposed to be supported up and out of the way? A picture would probably be easiest, if someone's got one handy.
I'm not 100% about it, but a few people including me have the same dilemma with the extra wiring. After discussing some GMT400 history we concluded 1 set is for TBI engine components, and the other is for the Vortec. I have a 5.7 TBI, pre-cat O2 sensors, pick up coil and ignition control module external coil no crank or camshaft sensors but I have those plugs secured to the rest of the harness. Manual transfer case floor shifter. I have 96 dash with both airbags, and a solid button space for push button 4x4. ECMs fuse box are different, TBI has relay center on passenger side firewall, Vortec has relays and box mounted on driver's side inner fender. Seen people complain about start and die situation caused by a wire shorting out in the security system, but never thought of that being the issue because their truck didn't have that option. My cuz had a 99 interior and exterior, 2 afternoons motor and drivetrain went right into a 98.I'm working my way through the engine bay to clean up the idle on my "new" 95 K2500 Burb.
