Ducts did turn out decent.

It can go in any of the aux holes but from the factory washer is usually in the lower single hole just above the wiring loom marked K on the illustration. Almost all the accessory hose and wire routings are described in the accessory section of SM.
If you are reusing your old grommets look for the aux grommet with a large hole for the hose and a bunch of smaller blanked openings individual wires for power windows and other accessories pass thru. There is another similar sized grommet without as many small holes sometimes used for the radio antenna wires and lead. I am not entirely sure Steele's grommets listed for washer hose or antenna is the correct 55 item though. Both appear to be the type that needs the external metal retainer which screws to the dash like the one shown in the photo for the wiring loom opening. I don't see any holes on your aux openings where any retainers would have been.
Layout of accessory grommets usually depend on what space was already used or if enough openings are available in a grommet for extra wires or even if an accessory was installed by dealers who sometimes ignored factory recommendations.

Also, I am trying to install the wiper fluid line before I install the plenum. I am running a line from each side to a tee but where does the 3rd line from the tee pass through the firewall or does it really matter?
