Hi everyone,
Checking in from Dallas, Texas. I have a 94 N/A that I've been planning to do a 3VZ-FE swap into for months now and finally got it started. I dropped the 5S engine out last weekend and have been prepping the JDM 3VZ that I bought from Canada to go in, doing the seals, water pump, timing belt.
Running into a few issues related to getting the 3VZ ready. Basically the engine dealers, in order to get the engine out as fast as possible, cut a lot of wires and hoses that cost you hours. The reason I bought an already-assembled 3VZ was so I wouldn't have to take it all apart, but I had to take off the upper and lower intake manifolds just to connect a new knock sensor harness because they cut it. Now I'm having trouble figuring out where all the hoses go, because I am a stupid noob. Can you guys please help.
Hopefully this one is easy, there is a tiny little metal tube. What plugs into this?

This next one is a little more annoying. There are 4 vacuum hoses near each other. I took a guess at where #'s 1 through 3 go, I'm pretty sure #3 is right based on the natural bend in the hose, but #4 is unattached but it looks like it wants to go where #1 or #2 go.

Lastly, I'm pretty sure this is the fuel supply line. But the engine undertakers cut it and now I'm stuck like this. I've never worked with a junction like this before. Is it hard to undo this connection and get a replacement rubber hose on here? I have the rubber hose, just never messed with this kind of connection. If I have to take everything apart again to put on another fuel rail just because these people cut this line to save a few seconds, I'm going to be pissed.

Thanks all and sorry for the noob questions, hopefully it can help someone in the future inexperienced like me.
