Assuming you get the needed parts (IAC valve, gasket, and new hose), the old parts can be identified by locating the larger hose which connects the rubber 'accordian' tube to the upper intake manifold. The rubber accordian tube connects between your air filter box and the throttle body and it is obvious why it is called 'accordian'. The largest of the 3 hoses which come from this tube is the hose which needs replacing... the old one is actually 2 hoses with a plastic resonator 'juice-can' looking thing. There is a tube which this hose connects to on the upper intake manifold... bolted directly next to that tube is the IAC valve which gets replaced along with gasket... I'll try to include a pic of the locations... here ya go... My valve is still original, but I put on a different hose to replace the one with the resonator:
I hope this helps... BTW, that tube where it connects by the valve is the place to insert the copper plug for throttle-hang fix, as others have described.... but that could lead to more moosing without the replacement of the IAC valve.
Also when you do this... first disconnect the (-) terminal of your battery and follow the procedure for resetting the cars' computer... I found the moose problem was kept to a minimal when doing this.
