Exclamation Dash vacuum line

So remember that problem I posted awhile back? About my dash A/C not working? turns out I bought the wrong check valve from Autozone so I just ordered a brand new valve from GM. I was taking the old cracked valve off the vacuum lines, I got 2 lines out but the last one (The one leading to the dash). It was stuck so I got a flat head and tried prying off the valve. it came off but also also felt a tug and the line got longer, now its all the way to the alternator, I tried to push the line back in but it wont go anywhere. Did I pull the line out or just release some tension? I was so stoked that I could have my A/C working but of course I run into this. ;( . Anyone know what happened? im hoping I just released some tension

sounds like you pulled it out of something. did you try blowing on it to see if its off. if so, could blow smoke in there and see where it comes out.

I figured out that I had just pulled some of it out of the little hole that it goes through to the dash, (at least thats what I saw) Im going to blow smoke into it tomorrow. What kind of smoke?
