Default Vacuum line help please

When the neighbor pulled the throttle body most of the plastic vacuum lines snapped in multiple pieces. We have most of the routing figured out by using the diagram under the hood, but have a couple of loose ends we can't figure out. The two red lines from the tree on the throttle body are routed behind and then up alongside the engine with at least one going to the charcoal canister. That still leaves two red lines on the passenger side we don't know where they go. It's almost as if there was a two into one connector that is missing

Any one have the key to the puzzle?

Thanks

Just follow the diagram, that's why it's there.

the Diagram on the hood should be really straight forward. sometimes they over simplify it but you can get the good general idea on what goes where.

The diagram only shows one red line going to the passenger side and to the charcoal canister, but there are two red lines coming off the tree on the throttle body and routed behind the engine and to the passenger side. That's why we cant figure out where the other one connects.. He said when he unhooked them to take off the throttle body they shattered into several pieces, so we can't reconstruct them that way. We have looked high and low for some type of T or Y connector that might have fallen when they broke, but no such luck.
