Default 69 power door locks

Does anyone know where the hose for a non A/C car with vacuum (69 only) power door locks goes through the firewall. There is no literature in the manuals on these low volume options.

Here's a routing diagram from the '69 service manual... no difference between with or without a/c, the system is routed the same.

Yes, that's basically a reserve tank that gives you two lock cycles after the engine is shut off.

I have learned that GTOs with hideaways and power door locks used two vacuum tanks. One mounted on the forward slope of the inner fender and the other on the forward slope.

The hose that goes to the firewall for the power locks has a molded in grommet, they often tear when trying to remove them, remove them gently as they are not reproduced.
