Vacuum (headlights and A/C)

I'm new to Corvette ownership. I have a 1973 with A/C. It appears a previous owner disconnected various vacuum lines in the engine compartment and possilbly in the interior. I have no experience with Corvettes. Is there a manual recommended that will give detailed diagrams (particularly the headlight and A/C vacuum system) for a do-it-yourselfer? I can tell what is there and what is missing.

Thanks

you can also do a "search this forum" on the previous page, that may help with a lot of questions.

Thanks for the help. I think I have everything hooked up okay. The left headlight pops up good. However, the right light pops up realllly slow. Any thoughts? You have already been very helpful.

The seal in the right actuator is probably leaking.
Oh and dont go by the diagram in the above link its wrong at the headlight switch and the bypass pulldown.
Edit here is the seal- http://www.ecklers.com/product.asp?p...3&dept_id=1476
