AC Vacuum Hose Routing

Good morning all. I need some help confirming the vacuum hose routing from the control under the dash. The image is my service manual was poor and difficult to understand. I have attached a scan with the lines colored to match the hose stripes.
I just want to make sure my interpretation is correct before I button up the dash.

That looks like the diagram from the assembly and csm manuals. Why wouldn't you trust it? Suggest you run the A/C through all its cycles just to be sure none of your connections leak though.

Yeah, looks right to me.

Nice colorization, by the way. That may help others.

It is the diagram from the service manual but I have a digital copy and the image was difficult to read, much of it was grainy. Particularly where the orange and white intersect. I enlarged it and did my best to interpret the routing. Just wanted someone to confirm.

Absolutely on the leak check. One nice thing about tearing a car completely apart is that you have a chance to address issues like that.

Thanks MDchanic! I thought the same thing. I know that diagrams like this have come in handy for me on both the resto of my Chevelle and the Cutlass.
