codes 171 and 174...

Hi all, before you jump all over me for not searching, i know what the codes mean. I have cleaned the IAC and that didn't do anything. Now i am ready to check for vac leaks... this is where my question comes up. Can someone post a pic to show all of the vac lines and also suggest any other checks that i should do.

Thanks
