Default 4.9l i6 300 Help Identifying broken vacuum lines

Hey guys so I had to remove my intake manifold to replace my injectors and in the process I broke a few vacuum lines that were old and bridle. Looking for help identifying these lines, where they go and I want to know if I can replace them with flexible rubber hosing. Thanks a bunch

the first pic is part of the hvac, i believe it connects somewhere on the blower motor assembly housing. The second one looks like is goes to the canister on the passenger side inner wheel well, and the third is the egr. IM not sure about the last one.
I broke a few lines doing the same job, and i fixed some of them by getting a role of vacuum line that fits snugly arount the old lines, and just put both broken ends into a section of that and wrapped it in electrical tape.

Did you look at the vacuum diagram underneath the hood?

It's either on the air cleaner cover (the most common location on '87 trucks), the core support, or the hood.
