Help a Renix noob

I was poking around my engine (‘87 2.5) today and found this connector hanging loose on top of the intake manifold. What is it and where does it need to go?

 

I also noticed that it looks like a couple of vacuum lines are missing from my throttle body. Are there normally four lines that connect to the throttle body? I have two lines and two empty holes.

 
It also looks like a couple of lines have been broken off of this cluster (not sure what else to call it) near the throttle body.

The connector is for your power steering pressure switch. 
 

 

In 87 AMC changed the TB base to have only two ports available. Those two “open” ports are actually blocked off by the casting. 
 

The final picture should have 3 lines going places. 
 

One from the map sensor to the manifold

 

one should be from the EGR switch to the EGR 

 

I’ll have to snap some pics of mine and where they come from and to where they go. But those two I listed are for sure.

Oh boy. Those pictures just turned into the longer I look at it the worse it gets. The rear hose on the valve cover should go to the base of the throttle body in the bigger port. We’ve got some work to do.

Thanks. I’d love to see any pics you can give me of vacuum line routing. I don’t know what’s normal, but it all seems like a mess in there. This thing runs okay, but not as well  as I think it should.

Don’t worry I’ll help get ya squared away and running efficiently.
