Default Missing Vac lines

Long Story Short, I sent my car into a "Toyota-Lexus Specialist" for some maintenance work since I didnt have time to do it myself (50+ Hour weeks)

Car 95 Sc300

Work to be done
Plugs, Wires, Ignition Rotor, Distributor Cap, Thermostat, Flush and Fill Radiator, and Valve Cover Gaskets
I supplied all of the Parts but they "forgot" to use the OEM Manifold gasket and instead used some sort of silicone so I am not that confident in their work.

After about 6 days I get a call saying that "We finished up but now we think that the head gasket is blown and it will be another $1900 to fix " I immediately run down to see wtf since i had a compression check less then 10K miles ago and everything was perfect.

I checked both oil and coolant and they are fine, so i said screw it and had the car towed home (i attempted to drive it across the parking lot but it felt like it had a major miss and id rather be safe then sorry)

I opened the hood up today and found the vac port on the front driver side in front of the intake manifold was broken and on the rear there are open ports but no hoses that i can find for them.

I searched and was unable to find the proper routing of where the missing hoses go and come from so if anyone can enlighten me on the issue that would be awesome.

Broken Connector (If anyone knows the toyota Part # that would be great)


Rear where im missing lines (Ill take more pics tomorrow afterwork since I doubt that the bottom lines are correct)
