Default '76 vette vacuum connections

Hi...recently purchased a '76 vette with the 350 4bbl carb (Rochester Quadra jet)..the engine is missing AC parts and I noticed more importantly there are some lines disconnected around carb..engine runs OK after warmup but while cold has hard time saying at idle when gear is engaged...Also after warmup it does not idle too smooth...Does anyone have a link to a diagram of the vacuum lines connections off carb?....and just curious, would a mild to medium racing cam cause a rough idle after warmup?...Thanks,Pete

Pete - PM your email address and I will take pictures of mine & send them to you.

Also - 4 speed or Automatic?

Left click on my screen name on the left then click on Send Private Message. My 76 is a 4 speed and might be a little different but sstill of some value to you.

Pete44 - I just emailed 9 pictures showing the vacuum lines on my 76. I am sure the will be minor differences between my 4 speed and your automatic but hopefully, this will clear some of it up. Let me know if I can help.
