93 Continental air lines

Maybe Im just not being patient enough, but a search for a compressor diagram is leading nowhere.
My father-in-law's 93 Cont. just had the compressor replaced. Easy job but now the bags wont air up. I did the comp relay too. The compressor is pumping air, some is leaking at the line/dryer connection, but NONE is getting to the bags. I removed the suspension module fuse and disconnected the battery to try to make the module relearn the ride height, but that just made it slam the car to the ground. I tried manually moving the height sensors, but still no air to the struts. The only thing I can think of is maybe in my urge to get home (this was at my in-law's, so I wanted to get the hell out of there haha) I connected the lines to the wrong ports, even though I took the time to label them.
So my question is does anyone have a diagram showing which air lines correspond to which wheel coming from the dryer? I cant find any images from a search. Right now the front wheel lines are connected to the ports closer to the pass side fender, with the top port for the drivers front and the bottom for the pass front.
Another question. Whats the best way to seal the lines at the dryer. The old one pissed air all the time, but so does the new one. Im thinking of trying some sort of epoxy like JB Weld, but Im not sure if thats right.
Thanks in advance for any help you guys can offer. Its much appreciated!

99% of the leaks and 'not passing air' are due to the mechanic not inserting the lines deep enough into the fittings. Always use the correct amount of 'o' rings where applicable, and make sure you're assembling a clean fitting.
