Default Purge Flow Sensor Vacuum Line

OK. I just had a PI Intake Manifold installed on my 96 GT (old manifold cracked). The car runs great after the install. The car just threw a P1443 code. I experienced this code a few months ago and replaced the Purge Flow Sensor which fixed the problem back then. Now back to my current problem. I opened the hood and found that the mechanic did not connect the intake side vacuum hose from the Purge Flow Sensor. The embarrassing thing is that I can not remember nor see where the vacuum hose attaches to the intake manifold. Any suggestions (pics would be awesome) on where the hose attaches would be greatly appreciated. I know, I know. I should take it back to the mechanic but it will be a few days before I can do so so I thought I would fix it myself.

Listen careful around the intake manifold, you will hear the hiss of a vacuum leak, there has been so many ports they put it I can not remember off the top of my head,,,, also carb cleaner sprayed around the manifold will tell you where the leak is also.
