Best place to start is right here for what is what. vacuum-line-placement-1986-z24-gas-motor-t530372.html

The only one you need for it to run right is the vac dist advance and the giant one to the brake booster. To pass emissions, a little different... but if you don't have testing, scrap 'em.

Follow the vac line removal thread. I was having alot of engine knocking, erratic idle, and low on power. I removed the vac lines using the thread and it made all the difference. She runs great now and no longer sounds like a diesel.
Good luck
