Ive had this car for a few weeks and its been running great from what I see... but i do notice it has quite slow pickup and i get about 50 - 75 miles less than i should on a full tank of gas.
 

im assuming it has something to do with the vacuum lines. My friend and I noticed that they were ALL sealed off and not connected.

Would anyone be able to get me material (photos, manual, etc) as to where these lines connect to?

this should solve my problems right?

you need to give us photos of what lines are sealed, some can be blocked off. if you getting bad gas mileage i would look into changing the O2 sensor and checking to see if your cat is clogged.

all the service manuals are located here

I have a '91 N/A that appears to be relatively unmolested under the hood.  I can take pix of the engine if you need me to.

thanks guys. I'm gonna take a few pics of the lines that are blocked later today and I'll put them up.

As they say - Pictures are worth 1000 words. Looking forward to pics, we'll get it all figured out for ya.

I *think* those capped lines are correct for the N/A. The one loose hose needs to go to the underside of the distributor, on the bottom of the vacuum bulbs. The line looks like its seen better days, maybe replace it in the future.
