wont shut off- separated underdash vacuum hose somewhere

way back when I broke the mount off for the under dash duct

http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/showthread.php?t=192443

so today I removed to bracket to rivet it back together. I realized the instrument cluster had to come off to reach the bolt. That's off, and I removed miles of aftermarket stereo/alarm/cellphone wiring to simplify things back to stock wiring

It was no surprise to me that when i packed up, the engine doesn't shut off using the key. I even suspected it because I can see a separate vacuum hose deep up there close to the firewall bulkhead that was probably upset by pulling out an aftermarket harnesss. I can't be 100% certain that is the culprit and had to close shop for the night.

There's quite a few electronic boxes of different type and I can't figure the best way to temporarily get them out of the way to further inspect this hose. It looks almost like I need to remove 2 brake pedal bracket nuts. Does that seem right?
