so i am putting my intake manifold back on my engine after doing head gaskets and painting the manifold. i don't know what this thing is or where to even route the vacuum lines for it. it mounts on the bottom of the manifold near the IAC.

^^^ The man is correct. The nipple on top in your photo goes to the vapor canister, and the other nipple goes to a vacuum fitting on your throttle body. Trace the vacuum lines/pipes from each of those items and you'll be set. :-)
