Default 1980 C3 Vaccum system

Does anybody have a schematic or chart of the complete vacuum system? I need to start with hose 1 and restore to original.

Someone in the past went monkey on the system so I need to just
wring it out completely.

For example; they ran a vacuum line straight from the carb to the
heater control valve which means as soon as you start the engine
you turn off the water supply to the heater. Not real good in the winter
Well you get the idea.

Thanks folks

Here you go. You can buy the kit. Everything is color coded, year specific. Have Fun!
