How could no boost or enrichment be vacuum related? There's no connections between those two systems on this car.
Vacuum leaks would show up as harder shifts. Slower shifts could be from reduced power caused by the broken boost control line.
I wouldn't adjust any linkage, just look at the boost control line first.
