help! MS CAI install

Ok Im trying to install the MS CAI but i got stuck on step 6 "Unplug the vaccum solonoid and vacuum line attached to it."

im just wondering if anyone can help point out to me where these are because im just retarded. i attached some pictures that somebody could use to point it out. some of the picture are of the aem intake but they are practiclly the same so anyone who has installed either would you please help me out. thank you

BTW: my car is an 2005 auto if it makes a difference.

the things you speak of are under the stock intake... and in the front of the intake where the vdaf is... if you are going off the photos in the thread you are doomed...

have you removed the stock intake box yet???

im having difficulty figuring out which part im supposed to cap. the first picture i found on here and it shows it coming off of the plastic and getting capped.
the second pic is of mine, but mine is smooth all around that area so i have no idea what up . the third one is what it currnetly looks like where my airbox was.
