Default Vaccum Leak Check for a Newbie

Hey guys

Im about to check for vacuum leaks today, my truck is throwing a p0171/p0300 code.

I was hoping someone could hook me up with a site that may have a diagram of where all the vacuum lines are. Also ive read you can spray carb spray to find leaks?

Anything i should be aware of before doing this?

Not many vacuum lines to check, it is probably the intake gaskets. I would just let it run and ppour some water on the runners. you will hear it skip and change tones.
