There are two lines, one for the brake booster and another smaller one for everything else. Get a MitiVac and check the two lines from the 5-way T in front of the engine that go over to the passenger side -- the actuators blow out and you don't get enough vac to run the AC or tranny controls.

Tried to take a picture for you, but I can barely see it with the radiator hose in the way. Yes - there are two ports - one for the booster, the other for the accessories. Mine (300SDL) wouldn't hold vacuum, and took quite awhile to "generate" vacuum after starting in the AM. I thought it might be
