Default In the process of changing all vacuum lines, small problem

I have all of the lines out now, but in the process of getting the very bottom out, I hit the oil delivery line to the right head and it snapped. They are very brittle apparently. It goes straight into the middle of the block, right under the throttle body. I cannot for the life of me get it out, and I cannot get the last screw off of the throttle body to get access, since its so close to the firewall. My hands are sore, I am annoyed, and I need my car =/

Since I am sure many of you have pulled at least the top half of your engine apart, are there any pointers or tricks??

Also, when I go to get the new lines, is there a good chance that autozone/oreillys will have the ones I need? They look pretty basic.

I also want to change them out but don't know where all the lines are except the 2 from intake manifold.
Does anyone have a diagram showing these hoses, I have searched but haven't found one yet.
Thanks.

yeah, I have had a hard time finding them as well. Seems like everything I find is always for the 1.8T.
