Okay, 8276 does not run under the manifold. That's the engine air bleed hose. It goes from the top of the cross over pipe assembly to the top of the degas bottle. (It can be replaced with cut-to-length hose.)
3W4Z-8548-AD is a throttle body heater hose. It runs from the water outlet on the top of the block to the throttle body. I had an issue with this hose on one of mine (it was cracked where it bent, almost all the way through). I had to remove the intake manifold (be sure to other manifold gaskets) to replace mine. Someone here did claim they were able to do it without removing the manifold. (Removing the manifold is not as difficult as it may sound.)
