Having the same issue with my install. Not that I don't know where the hoses go, but how to run all the hoses since the AIRRAM has all the damn vaccum lines in different places. Tried a couple different options, but I can't seem to NOT have all the lines kink on me.
Can someone who has the AIRRAM installed take some decent pics and show how they ran the vacuum lines? In the example above i can see the line that runs from before the throttle body and plugs into the middle of the IM is on top like the stock setup, but the post for the line is underneath.

Guys aside from the idle bypass, none of them will suffer if you put $0.40 worth of parts store vacuum lines on instead of the stock lines. Loop 'em if you have to, in order to prevent kinks.

I did buy parts store vacuum lines. I just can't seem to get it to work without kinks since all the lines off the IM point at the firewall. I am also using the Outlaw spacer so I lost about 3/8" of space to work with. Doesn't sound like much, but it's enough to give me issues.
I will probably order steel braided vacuum lines to help resolve the hose kink issue.

You should be able to get some "L" fittings for the lines. Short length of tube, L, then the rest of the tube, no longer pointed at firewall.

I pulled the stock fittings and put them on a 90 degree fitting so that problem is solved. It actually worked quite well. I used the original short hose for the IAC and ran it underneath like in regit's pic. I need to move the throttle cable holder, since I have the outlaw spacer on it is just out of place to fit the cable. I tried to just bend it into place, but that didn't work. The rubber grommet in the E-Bay AEM style CAI is too small for the sensor to fit in, so I need to figure out a solution for that yet. Talk about a tight fit under the battery plate and the stock fan! Slim line fans are definitely a future upgrade. I can add pics of how I did my set-up if someone would like to see, but with everything installed I'm not sure there would be much to see.
The car fired up fine, definitely sounds different. There is a bit of a pop when it fires up. Problem at this point is the idle is too high. It's running about 1800RPM.
