Vacuum hose question - as in where does it go with pics.

I have at least two missing vacuum hoses or maybe they are supposed to connect together. Here's some pics any idea where they connect?






The first pic is down low to the right of the battery near the front of the truck.

The second is on top on the valve cover gasket.

I can make a circle of the missing hose/broken stem if needed.

Maybe they connect together ? Seems unlikely but who knows!

I can't figure it out grrrr.

What color is the one on top of the valve cover? Green blue or orange? Its hard to tell with such a close up shot where it sits. Mine had 3 on the valvle cover. The one near the back was the FP vsv and mine missing a nipple so i removed it and ran the line straight to one of the 3 nipples on the back of the manifold.
 
It's black, in the center of the photo is a t type hose connector and one of the pieces is broken off and it's missing the vacuum hose.
 
The valve cover missing hose is close to the front. I'll take a further back pic later. It's possible it's on turbo only models.
 
I could be wrong on this, but I think the one on the valve cover is the a/c kick up.

Is that broken leg on that T plugged? If it isn't, I'd either remove it for now and use something to connect the two hoses together, or replace it and use some vacuum hose with a bolt in the third spot to close it off. The way it is now will be a pretty bad vacuum leak and I'm sure the truck doesn't run very well as it is right now!
 
I'll put a small bolt in the broken off section of the T.....if I knew where it went to I'd fix em both now!!!

I'm not sure where the hose is supposed to go!!!
And yes I feel a strong suction at the hole!!

If y'all know where it goes lemme know!!!

What year is this and it is a 22RET?

The second pic is definitely the ac vsv on the valve cover. The 2 hoses that go to this vsv go to the air valve with the large plastic screw on the intake manifold.
The other pic does not look familiar to my 86 22RE. Maybe turbo related?
 
87 4Runner 22-RTE as Toyota calls it

Amazing condition!

But I have no clue where the damn hose goes lol. So I plugged it.
