The cruise control motor on the left side of the engine bay with the three 
prong plug. That's where all these lines come from that you have been 
tracing. That is the cruise control motor. It makes it's own vacuum, just 
like the power lock motor.

That is the vent line for the transmission. It is there to allow expansion 
and contraction of the fluid. It goes exactly where it should, from the 
description.
