Most 3.5l don’t have vacuum pumps, you just need to reroute the tube to the intake manifold. There is a spot to put in the tube, it’s covered by a rubber plug

thank you so so much, I’ve being stressing about this, do you know the best and easy way to carry when trying to reroute the tube?

This is where the tube connects, you can use a heat gun to reshape the hose.
