i mean, before i even start, can anyone tell me what they would, (i should) do first. and also, i fergot to mention what hoses/vacum lines did you use?
Start with replacing old hoses and vacuum lines, clean the hell out of the engine, remove built up oil and grime and fix what's causing it.
THEN, worry about "pretty".
As for what vacuum hosing to use, the more popular choice these days is silicone. I got mine from www.hightempsilicone.com, I bought it all by the foot. I think they may sell a kit for our car as well as a number of other vendors, but I prefer having some extra around just in case.

It will come in a kit with different size hoses and different lengths. It should have everything you need. Here is a vacuum diagram if it helps you. Good luck........lol

do you think the one at autozone is alright? i dont think brand matters if its just silicone, theres a red vacume line set there.
There IS a difference between well made silicone hoses and the cheap stuff. If you're sure of the material and vulcanization process then have at it, but if they melt or dry out in a year don't expect any sympathy. :evil2:
They all recommend keeping clear of gas and oil, but heat shouldn't be too big of an issue at all... unless you're wrapping the lines aroung the exhaust manifold.

I don't quite understand what you're asking. The diagram show the vacuum lines for the 7M-GTE, although it doesn't show all of them.
Here's a nice writeup for replacing the vacuum lines and a couple hoses as well: http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/TechTips/vacuum_hose.aspx

:icon_conf LOL, lemme guess it was one of the coolant lines running to the throttle body?
Here's a tip: If you remove a vacuum line and there's either coolant or oil in it odds are it's NOT a vacuum line and you shouldn't swap it out with silicone hose.
The writeup I just posted a link to does instruct you to replace the washer fluid lines with silicone hose.. that's fine. It's not going blow from pressure.
