The two on the left are vac lines and need to be blocked off. The slightly bigger one is your IACV valve that controls your idle. You need to connect that to your cold pipe.

Your fuel gage goes before your fpr between the fuel filter and your rail.

Err, the one thats as big as your thumb is the IACV, i thought thats the one you were talking about. Thats the only one you need.

I think the slightly bigger one is another 'vac' line now that i think of it. Its an evap emissions line i believe. I think you can just cap it off.

Idk for sure its been so long since i had those lines on my s14, i got rid of all that stuff a long time ago.
