Default Shop manual vs Assembly manual

I just received a shop manual for my '79 but was disappointed to find no mention of vacuum hose routing. Would this be covered in the assembly manual?

Yes the assembly manual is a treasure trove of information....well worth the money.
It gives you the how to assemble, the torque settings, special notes, types of lube to use....and on and on.

I'm trying to identify a bunch of plugged vacuum lines. I'm needing some sort of diagram. Is this included in the assembly manual?

Check Wicox website they have a lot of information related to vacuum.

Is this the right assembly manual for a '72?

Thank you. I have looked at the Willcox illustration but it only addresses the headlight vac hoses. I have several that are plugged with bolts and have no idea where they were intended to go. All of my headlight vac hoses are accounted for and in the right place.

I might actually buy something from DrRebuild if they ever got off the "Zip Rip." OK, the guy had a problem with Zip 20 years ago - so get over it! Life goes on. I'm sure Zip couldn't care less about whatever happened back then.
