Wow, that is indeed a rat's nest! I do believe that someone has "fixed" your vacuum system, and now too much of the new design is blocking access to critical things, like the rack damper bolt.
I would suggest that you consider getting together proper vacuum line documentation and fresh rubber joints and line, and a few good pictures of what the set-up should look like (even better - get hands-on with a car like yours that has not been "fixed" like yours).
A great source of pix is online auctions like Bring-a-Trailer and such, where high-end cars that are low mileage and 100% original are sold. Usually they have great pix of the engine compartment.
