Large evap leak.. take it to a smog and repair shop. Have them perform a smoke test. Actual smoke will detect the leak. Sometimes that's the only way you can find the leak.
Also, Posting this in tech talk section will be more helpful.

If thats the case then that would stand true for 99-04 as well considering they are pretty much the same except heads and manifold

Have you tried spraying brake clean around hoses and gaskets?

p0455 is an evap code it has nothing to do with vacuum leak unless a hose is cracked on evap line to the intake but then you would get the code p0174/p0171

Yeah my bad, I must have been distracted while reading. There's no way to tell without smoke testing. Do sn95 cars run a diag pump? I see these fail frequently where I work and flag a false leak, also a common one is fuel pump hat o rings, but like I said no way to tell without a smoke test.
