11/23/16 Update:
I've done A LOT of small restorations to this car since this original post - this weekend will be the mess under the intake and cleaning the injectors. Looking forward to cleaning everything up under there. I've got a silicon hose kit that I plan on using for the vacuum lines.
After clean and reinstalling my ICV with the old vacuum hoses, my idle is now worse than ever. I know I need to replace the vacuum hoses, but that's where I'm confused.
It seems the only options are to pay about $400 for all the hoses from the dealership, particularly the bespoke ICV ones, or tackle the "mess under the intake" hose delete job.
The first option seems ridiculous to me so I'm looking into doing the hose delete/rationalize, but I must admit being a little intimidated by it. Does anybody have a more definite guide than just "read the entire thread and pick through the replies"? I suppose I could manage with the helpful diagram that somebody made of all the hoses, but I dunno. Guess I'm just looking for some noob pointers on this stuff. Also don't know which hoses to buy! Would a silicone hose kit from here work okay?
Is there a way to fix just the ICV hoses? The top one is easy but how are people routing the bottom one?
Thanks for any replies. Looking to do this pretty soon as my idle sucks.
