- Well, - it's easier done then said lol.
Try it this way, -
Disconnect the line with the red arrow and pull it away from the line with the green arrow.
Grab the green 90* elbow and turn it so that it's pointing upwards (just twist it, you may have to twist the other side connected to the throttle body elbow at the same time in order for it to remain in that position).
Then reconnect the line w/red arrow so that it's under (not over like it is now) the line with the green arrow.
If anyone else can explain this better, - please do!

Perfecto! Good job, everything is right on top.
EDIT: Almost lol, - your connections are all good but the top emission hose/ top of throttle body elbow needs to be turned about 80* and re-routed. It's suppose to be over and above your smaller (1/8") emission harness lines. Currently your main vac line (Black) and your regulator (FPR line red) is pinning it down at the top of the hose bumper. Just disconnect the black and red at the center port of the throttle body elbow. The grab that green elbow and turn it so that the hose is pointing upward. (It's suppose to be that way so you don't get condensation build up in the hose), then reconnect the emission harness boot to the center port in the TB elbow. It'll be correct then.

- Yea you got it, as long as you turned the 90* elbow as I outlined, then it's the way it should be.
The only other minor thing I see is the green 1/8" mini vac line isn't in it corrugated line protector that's sitting right next to it. Shove that in it's sleeve and it'll be like factory. You can see everything I just outlined comparing my pic with yours. Yea just little things. Make sure that loop or pre-bent 1/4" rubber line with the green plastic elbow is pointed up as well. The bend in the hose goes upward and not outward. That should happen on it's own if you've turned that elbow like I mentioned earlier.

Ok, what about the elect. Connector? Still haven't found where that goes. Also, here is a diagram of the serpentine belt. I cannot seem to find that pulley that I'm pointing at. I'm thinking that because it is a dashed line, that means that you may or may not have one?

Oh yea, I noticed that earlier. It looks like all the drivers side coils are connected wrong. I believe you have your IAC connector plugged into coil #8, that why you ended up with an extra.
It must run like hell if that's the case.
EDIT: Yea , you show a pic of holding the connector, - had no idea why at first, there's no explanation. What I noticed earlier from your previous photos, the IAC wasn't connected. That mistake is easy to make. Since the coil connectors and IAC are the same and the IAC connector reaches #8 without a problem.
No what I'm saying, - making sense yet ?
