Vacuum hoses/lines in engine refresh

I'm thinking of doing some engine work on the car that would involve draining the intercooler system and removing the intercoolers (valve covers and gaskets).
Additionally I'd inspect and change/upgrade the vacuum system. I know some of my lines aren't seated properly, if at all.

Has someone done this job and can offer insights? Schematics and Part #'s of the vacuum system, or a WIS document #?

The system uses several y hoses (6010780245) but that's all I remember... I think 4 of them. The hard vacuum line is 0001581435.
I go about finding useful functional images of the back/ side/etc of these engines by looking at auction pics for pulled engines, some can be very complete. I've used zip ties instead of the goofy OEM crimp clamps for the soft to hard hose junctions.

OP bleeding the charge cooling circuit is a PITA easily avoided by not removing charge coolers. Hold them up and out of the way while doing valve cover gaskets and vacuum line repairs. No doubt the plastic lines will break as soon as you give them side eye. Be very careful with the vacuum line that connects at the rear and goes under the intake. The plastic vacuum reservoir is under the intake and comes out once cylinder heads are out of the way.

When I swapped to an AMG M275 I replaced all the sleeved plastic vacuum lines with bulk silicone lines. However I reused the MB boost pressure lines since they were still in good condition; I didn't know if the silicone lines were intended for boost.
The AMG engine had just been rebuilt and the plastic vacuum reservoir was not installed as it is crazy difficult to replace in its normal position. I found that I could fit it behind the engine on the right (US passenger) side after I moved the intercooler out of the way. That way if it ever fails, it will be trivial to replace.
