I'll try and get some pics but you can prob easily find them, they go from the wheel up and they meet at the center then splits off to the other wheel. little black rubber hoses.

to know if you have live axles your hub will have a big nut (1 1/4) that holds the cv, if you have vacuum hubs you will have a black cylinder pertruding out about 2in

wait a minute....my hubs dont work and neither does my climate control so does that mean that they are run off the same line so i have a cracked line somewhere?

Also it could cause your engine to run lean since the MAF doesn't see the extra air going into the engine.

That is correct. Could be a cracked or disconnected vacuum line, or maybe a bad check valve in the reservoir.
