looks right now. not sure about the tube though.

the green plug is the sensor for your vacuum. looks right. The hose, i think, goes to the secondary vacuum inlet.

can you follow it and see what else it connects to?

That is correct JOLIET WANKEL.
The green harness is plugged into the VFAD solenoid and the hose is now connecting the solenoid to the vacuum chamber (which is that 'barrel' device you see in the "before" pic).
If you were to follow past the vacuum chamber, you should have a check valve and then the hose connects to a nipple behind the throttle body.
