According to my 96 SS the hose facing the front of the car goes around the front under the intake elbow and hooks into the gas lines. I think it has to do with the ash can and the emmissions. And the hose that is coming out of the bottom is not hooked up on my car either. And the hose that turns and points towards the wirewall goes to that other sensor with the red plug. I looked at our 97 Z and it is the same. We put a LT1 into a 67 El Camino and i'm sure that we didn't hook any of those tubes up.

I can't make out that pic at all, the top one doesn't get a good view and the second is blurry but check out this site and save it to your favorite's for future reference. It has the location and click links to every sensor on a LT1 http://shbox.com/1/component_location_views.html . as well as other things. Also check out the main page for tons of other usefull info www.shbox.com (http://www.shbox.com/) .
Good Luck.

thx for the help guys, figured out that the front one goes to the EVAP cannister, which is next to the gas tank on a fourth gen, but i'm gonna hook it up to the third gen evap which is on the driver's side front of a third gen. the other lower one is just a vent and doesn't hook up to anything. also learned that this assembly is different on the '96-'97 compared to '93-'95. thanks again for the help guys
