Default 1995 chevy blazer vacuum issue

I have a 1995 chevy blazer with a 4.3l v6. The previous owner thought he knew what was wrong and just pulled out all the vacuum hoses and never replaced them. Now I have no idea where any of the go, what sizes, any t's, and couplers, etc. I'm really wanting to get this running for my son. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

There should be a vacuum hose diagram on the underhood emissions label. If not, it's pretty easy to look up. What's your engine code (8th digit of VIN)?

removed hoses... man does it even run after that?

Anyways - i believe christine(some numbers) has a diagram somewhere for 98+ Trucks, it should be pretty straight forward, your truck being a 95 should have CPI (black intake runner off to the drivers side of the engine bay) So all hookups start at the Plenum and move outwards. I'd start there.

No, that's a vacuum reservoir. The evap canister is by the gas tank, and should have a metal line that runs most of the way.

so, does everything start with the reservoir? If so, then where would I put t's or other connectors? Sorry for all the questions, but, vacuum has never been my strong suit.

Vacuum starts at the intake manifold. The diagram should show any tees, check valves, etc.
