Default NEED HELP WITH VACCUME LINES ETC

HELP[:@]

I am replacing my motor in my 93 civic, i got another motor, but am having problems finding where all the hoses/lines go.
I bought a haynes book, its pretty useless, as I am new to this forum, is there a page online that might have this info.
Thanks in advance.

ie; like the two vaccume lines on the tubular thingy on the back side of the intake, it has a plugin and two vaccume lines.where do they go?????????

is the round thing you talking about that on the back of the intake, is it on the right or left side if your looking at it from the front? Im guessing the on on the left, it has 2 bolts that on it on? This is your idle air control valve, those 2 lines hook up underneth that theres 2 nipples that stickl out the bottom there 3/8 in size about the size of a pincle .
But if there atached all ready to the the round thingy, one goes your throttle body on the botom and the other goes down bellow that.round thingy hope this helps

ok the other line goes down to that water tube, look for the tube that has a "U" shape to it right on the other side of that is were it needs to hook to ok. remember the hose that goes to your throttle body goes on the left nipple ok

anybody got a pic of this.
I found the U shaped hose, and the nipple next to it,but that nipple already has a line on it going up to the valve cover, their is another nipple mounted on the other end of the long metal tube that runs the lengh of the block, can I use that? does water run thru this?
I thought it was just vacuume.

thedrivers side nipple on the idle air control valve runs down to the water pipe. the nipple on the passenger side of the valve goes to the back of the throttle body. coolant runs thru these lines to keep it cool. it circulates right back into the system. then one coming off the front of the throttle body goes into the pipe again. should be right before the thermostat. thats how mine goes.
