On the right side, coming through the firewall, are 2 clear plastic
hoses.  The short one attaches to the front of the airfilter housing, the
longer one attaches to a short "pipe" on the right-side tinware of the
engine, just above the alternator.  There's a hose that runs from the oil
breather to the air intake elbow; there's a thin metal fitting that slips
inside this hose and goes into a corresponding hole in the air intake
elbow.  There's a hose that runs from the aux air regulator up to another
hole in the air intake elbow; it fits into the white plastic "Y"
fitting.  The last hose runs from the other arm of this "Y" over to the
decel valve.
