You need to replace the cannister, it does more than operate the cruise control, it provides vac for the heater box to operate the flapper and some other stuff depeinding on year...

Ok since we have established that it is necessary does it matter which end connects to which set of lines?

No. You can use either one, and you can use one side even if the other leaks. The two chambers are separate.

Yeah I just discovered that. I found the other half of the cannister on the road into my neighborhood. Thanks for the info though.

How well this works may depend on whether you have a disconnect front axle. If you do (and cozmo does, on his 90) then it will also pop out of 4WD in the same situations that the heater shuts off. So there you are driving up a long ice-covered hill in a blizzard, and you're right near the top as an oncoming car starts fishtailing down toward you...Having fought every disconnect malfunction possible on an 87 through several Vermont winters, I can say with some confidence that this is NOT what you want to have happen.
