Fixing disconnected #5 vacuum heater control hose

I have been having idle problems and while everything looks good under the hood, I know I had a disconnected vacuum hose inside the dash. I just pulled out most of the middle of the dash and found it's the #5 vacuum hose. It's supposed to go to the driver's side footwell per my bentley manual. The actual effect it has is that the most powerful fan setting doesn't work. Anyway, I need to figure out where this connected to originally. I can't see back into the dash through the stereo slot to see where it goes. The #6 hose (apparently <b>passenger</b> side footwell) goes down but I can't see where to. I'm having some trouble getting the bottom portion of the dash off. I _think_ I found the driver's side bolt in the engine bay to get that side, although it appears stripped so that should be fun.

The passenger one though I cannot find.

I looked behind the wiring although gingerly since the wiring is old and brittle. Any suggestions/help is appreciated. Also, does the below the dash venting only come free once the bottom part of the dash is off? Either side screw was easy, but the center apparently is hard to find and I'm wondering if it's even accessible until the bottom of the dash is off. Thanks, I'd really like to get my car back together and this solved today.
