Default Checking for Vacuum leaks:?

Besides the line that goes from the top of the intake manifold to the top of the fuel pressure regulator, where else should i be looking to check for vacuum leaks. This is a 95 ls engine btw. Thanks

start the car, and begin spraying carb cleaner around your engine bay... when the car bogs, that is where your leak is.

run an unlit propane torch along your hoses and manifold. when the idle smoothes out and speeds up youve found the leak.
