Default 69 rs/ss hidden headlights

Hi All,,
Been restoring this car, and close to finishing it my problem is I have a lot of vacuum lines that are not connected and have no idea where they go
my headlight covers don't work because of this mess,, any body have a vacuum line diagram that's easy to read, I believe the main line plugs into wiper motor is that true?
appreciate any help

Vacuum motors for wipers in cars where discontinued in the 40's. There should be no vacuum to you wipers. Your main vacuum hose would go to your power brakes. There should be a vacuum canister that leads to you heater/AC in the dash. All your doors that change air flow run on vacuum. Vacuum advance on the distributor is another important one. Keep in mind there are two types of vacuum. Manifold and Carburetor Vacuum. There are emission items like the PCV valve and your gas event system that may or may not still be there.

Go to Google then Google images and just search for 69 Camaro Vacuum diagram. If you are trying to do factory correct you can also search for pics of the original motors.

Update Im going with Electric conversion kit, after researching because manifold and carburetor are not stock and either is the Cam , I put a high performance roller cam in
this changes the vacuum. Plus doing this it opens up space in the engine compartment , no more tank, hoses and regulator
going with that Detroit Speed Brand about $600

Car is in paint booth as we speak going with Black again but silver racing stripes

I used the same kit for the RS lights. They work great. My friend has a very stock 68ss and he also installed the electric kit but kept the entire vacuum components for original appearance.
