Forgot to label which goes to which outlet/inlet. Can your guys help? 2 nipples coming from one connection on the power steering pump. I have a hose left over from the intake manifold and another from the air cleaner (overflow area?). Just replaced a hydrolocked 4.7 and this was the last thing I was thinking about, so I didn't label... Thanks in advance for the help!!!

I'd say just plug them in and see what happens. Turn the wheel at idle and see if it's easy or stiff. I had a waaaay old Toyota Cresida in the shop my first year and replaced the P/S pump. Same type of set up with 2 hoses. Slapped them on, zero steering assist. Reversed them at the pump and voilà. You won't cause any harm by trial and error to my knowledge.
I could do that, but not knowing which hose goes to which nipple makes me skeptical. I dont want to contaminate air with coolant, coolant with oil, etc...
I'm really hoping someone will read and just snap a photo of their configuration...

I replaced that valve this week. Photo inbound in about 2 minutes.

The nipple on the side with the protruded flat piece goes to the lower hose which goes to the intake manifold and the other one goes to the intake resonator. Sorry this is such a crappy photo. Let me know and I'll snap another one.
