Help with vacuum and emissions

Ok so this is my understanding of the emission hose routing

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n281/ny_knckerbockers/ColorfulEmission3.jpg

My hoses are all out of wack.
What I need what/where these are..

1. Canister control valve.
2 EFE TVS
3. Purge TVS
I'm guessing 2 and 3 to be sensors but a location would be helpful.
4. Vacuum Sensor
5. Is the yellow line running to the air cleaner? I'm assuming that's a dual snorkel air cleaner. If so I don't have my stock air cleaner I have one of those little pretty Edlebrock chrome open element ones on top of my carb.

Also I believe the EGR was removed before I bought the car. Should I replace that?

If you can provide a picture of any of the above that would really help.

The canister control valve may be mounted on a bracket that's mounted to the alternator in turn, or it may be free-floating 'in space', in the same area. This is generally in front of the coolant thermostat housing. The EFE TVS is mounted on the coolant thermostat housing and the purge TVS is mounted on the intake, in front of and between the alternator location and the thermostat housing. The vacuum sensor, also called a MAP sensor, is mounted on a bracket on the passenger side of the intake manifold, between the carb and the dist.

The engine was tuned to run with the EGR, so you may want to reinstall this if it is missing. The EGR control solenoid is mounted on the bracket with the MAP sensor.

The yellow line does indeed run to the THERMAC, which is mounted in the air cleaner.

That's a diagram for an '86 - Is that correct for your car?

Actually mine is an 88 but I was just using this as a reference since the one in my car is still there I'll just be looking at that one while working on it.

It's mostly correct for the '88.
