Port right behind the throttle body is for the evap system

Port down by the water pump is the vacuum side of the pcv system, it connects to the port on the intake you have circled.

You should also have ports on each valve cover, those are the fresh air side of the pcv system and can be connected to the intake tube after the maf. You can tee them together and connect only 1 hose to the intake if you want.

Since we are on the subject of the pcv system I would really recommend running a catch can on this gen of engine. I have a 14 and have seen first hand the mess that any blow by can make of the intake valves. A catch can will help keep that crap out of the intake and off the valves.

As far as cosmetics I kind of lean toward a custom look myself, but if you can make everything look like it belongs then a stock type setup is really cool too. Ive seen a couple swaps that looked like they rolled off the assembly line with an LS installed. If you are going to put the ecm where it is in the picture make sure the hood hinge will clear it.
