Default Vacuum lines at transfer case

I have checked all the vacuum diagrams I could find and none of them tell me where the 4 lines at the transfer case connect back up to in the front. Mine are all melted together in one spot where they cross the tailpipe and I need to run new ones. they are a big glob so it is impossible to trace them out. Any help would be appreciated.

i believe they run to the front axle on eh passenger side. there is supposed to be steel lines from the t/c to just passed the y-pipe from the factory(atleast on my 91 they were left there when the p.o. ran rubber lines all the way to the front).

Mine appear to be plastic all the way back. I can locate both ends of each line, but I don't know which line connects where since they are melted together at one spot. I hope my question makes sense.

Mine were also all plastic. after you replace them, cut both ends off an aluminum can and use the center section as a heat shield for the vacuum lines so they won't melt again.

No problem! I actually threw the vacuum lines out a few hours before i read this thread. Luckily, they were still on top of the rest of the trash.
