on the driver's inner fender, behind the abs module, (gotta love those engineers) is a vacuum conn to the evap canister (at least on my '98 v6)
I saw the broken conn with a small mechanic's mirror, removed the (4) bolts holding down the abs, pulled it gently inward.
I was then more able to get at it.
careful, the vacuum tank conn is a small plistic tit (can I say that?)
luck,greg
