ACV valve vacuum lines - I lost one.
Just finishing up..
Timing belt - Water pump - Dist cap & Rotors - High & Low pressure press power steering lines
and ACV valve delete in the process (M14 x 1.5 bolt fit perfect.) . - Goal of a LS400 with a leak free power steering system
I pulled the pump out entirely and the vacuum line attachment came with it. the first line goes right by the LEXUS symbol at the front of the engine, where is this second line/nipple to be capped at?
Thanks so much. I've looked visually and am at a loss.

right now the portion that includes the air filter and maf aren't located in the car.. does it go to that piece, or further up? If its that piece it makes sense why I can't find it as its been out of the car for the past two weeks lol.

you talking about the arm with the MAF right?
will confirm this with a pic when I find it lol - useful ad to the tutorials.
Also found a better way of flushing the power steering fluid than Starting / stopping the engine which is hard on the starter which is a pain to replace anyways and kind of counter intuitive to fix one problem and contribute to another.
- Air ratchet on the pump pulley with the accessory belt off could use a drill anything that rotates that you can put a socket on.

It goes all the way up to the plastic piece that is attached to your throttle body. There is a very small, brittle plastic nipple there, and that's where the other one attaches. Mine broke off as soon as I touched it, and its a bit of a pain to repair.
BTW, I don't think that deleting the ACV is a good idea. First of all, the part can be bought for something like 35 bucks new, as it is the same for most toyota and lexus cars (unfortunately, it is not listed as such, but just looking at them, they are all the same). Second, I did notice quite a difference with and without it, so that's another reason why its a bad idea - every time you park, and press the brakes and steer at the same time, steering becomes too hard. Hard enough that my wife noticed and complained immediately, without me ever telling her about it.

it's a small part that screws at the bottom/side of the P/S pump, has two vacuum lines coming out of it, and increases the idle when you are steering while standing (and braking usually) or moving very slowly without touching the gas pedal. Your price sounds about right, although I remember seeing it for less than that.

Beats me too, especially when you consider that for about 50-60 bucks, you are getting a part that will last another 50-100k miles at least. My LS has 165k and it seems that ACV was never changed before; only had a tiny leak, so I ordered a new one, although the old one still works.
