Default Trouble with vacuum 1983 V6

My buddy was doing a tune up on his 83 stang a couple days ago and broke five or six of the plastic elbows that connect the vacumm hoses. they were weakened because a week earlier his alternator clipped his battery and sprayed fluid everywhere. I tried to fix it the best i could so the car runs, but i'm not really a mechanic. if anyone has a pic or anything of an 83 V6 engine with the airfilter housing taken off the top of the carb thatd be perfect because at least i have a reference point. the emissions system sticker under the hood is like chinese to me. the problem area is right on top of the engine next to the carb. if anyone could help thatd be awesome i dont want that causing any more problems than he has with that car

I don't have a diagram, but I can tell you to make sure the vacuum lines are either plugged into one another, or make sure they are plugged. I know that sounds stupid, but it works. Your most important lines are from the EGR to the intake. Other than that, it is cake.......

yea it runs so i'm not that concerned. it stalled today but i'm not sure if thats vacuum. i'm pretty sure the only problem is gonna be with ac but we live in chicago so he wont need that until at least april plus its a convertible.
