That is the problem I did not disconnect them so I am not sure, and the tubing has become brittle and a few of them are broken. I can trace some of them but not sure of where some of the emissions components are located. I think if I had some kind of drawing , schematic, or diagram I might be able to figure it out. Thank you for your help!

The diagram was not much clearer than the one under the hood. A picture of the engine compartment with labels and locations of emissions system components is what I would like to see if possible. Thank you for your time and efforts as well as your patience.
