Vacuum-Emissions???

I have a 1982 CJ7 Jamboree with the 6 cyc; AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l engine; Carter carb. The Jeep has been sitting up for 2-3 years. First of all, I would like to thank all those Jeepers that posted and sent me advice, when I started trying to bring my Jeep to life once again. I'm happy to say that I got the gas tank cleaned out, all the gas lines cleared and cleaned, replaced the fuel pump and filter, changed spark plugs and wires, changed oil, and flushed radiator. Believe me, for someone who is not an auto mechanic, I would not have been able to do all those things without the advice I received from this site. NOW, the great news is that I actually got the Jeep running once again, but not purring like I would like.
The Jeep is not idling like it is suppose to. I can keep my foot on the gas slightly and keep it running, but it's not idling on it's own. The other thing I'm experiencing is what sounds like a huge vacuum leak. I mean I can hear the motor sucking air. The previous owner of the Jeep had removed all the emissions stuff, and I'm finding hoses and other things open to the atmosphere and not plugged off. Should I plug all these lines off? Can anyone tell me or send me a picture of what the 1982 engine should look like with no emissions stuff hooked up? I'd appreciate any help you can offer.
