Got lucky and fished the hose out with finger and then spliced it----it was just pushed up and curled at the foam insulation around the ac lines.Still never found out were it actually goes to and hooks up though,but i am assuming that if it is broke up into the firewall that the dash has at least got to be pulled back----thanks for the replies

Good job, I'm fairly positive it goes to the back of the HVAC control on the dash.

mine did the same thing after heater core install 2 weeks ago. I forgot to plug the quick disconnect vacuum lines from the back of the heater control switch n the cab. Check to make sure that is hooked uo.
