One line from the canister through the firewall is a thin plastic hard line and it runs through a grommet on the firewall, across behind the dash, and connects to the HVAC controls. The other line on the canister (normal rubber vacuum line) runs over to the intake manifold and is connected to manifold vacuum. There may be a multi-port vacuum connector screwed into the intake, or you will need to T into one of the other manifold vacuum lines.

You literally just click the "Forums" button, not browsing within the dropdown. Then scroll down to that section on the page it takes you to(the forum homepage).
