naw, i take it you got an 1983? its not all that bad on the vaccum hoese i think i counted 7 when i re-did mty head gasket there should be like 3 around the intake manifold by the carburator and a couple by ur front driver fender get some pics and no sorry i dont have a diagram, if u need go get a chiltins manual( or however u spell it) from autozone that was a lifesaver to me it gave me alot of information and i think theres a diagram in there there only $15 and its well worth it

i do have a 83, I have one of those shitty haynes manuals that dont tell u crap. i am in the proccess of trying to get a mitchell manual of ebay. I have ac,about the heater hoses its just the 2 hoses that are running from the heater core. i forgot which one went where.I didnt mark any hose's and i regret it now. My digital camera is broken so I cant upload any pics sorry.So if i picked up a chiltons manual there should be diagrams in there about the vacuum lines?

thanks alot <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->
