Vacuum issues? No 4wd

I have a 1990 4runner v6. The 4wd was working when i bought the truck. Me and a friend did the head gasket replacement and put it all back together. Now I dont have a 4wd light and front tires dont spin. I can hear a click from what i am assuming the relay in the dash when i shift into 4. I can also get low. I lock the hubs but i still dont have 4wd. The light does not come on. I had a vacuum issue where i had a rough idle but i believe i have fixed that by reconnecting the power steering vacuum lines last night. They were damaged. It idles better it seems, but still no 4wd. What lines should I follow? Can somebody please be kind enough to post a pic of where the lines come out and where they connect to the ADD?

Thanks for all of your help!!

There are 2 vacuum lines that run to the front diff, at the ADD vacuum actuator. I'll bet you've pulled 1 or both of them loose. They should run down the passenger side in the engine bay and wrapped in some kind of braided black plastic.
