Now I need some counseling on vacuum

as is with my luck i started the 87 and everything seem fine air out of the center vents and everything seemed to switch up down on off. well fine. so while i'm tinkering around i am playing with the button on ccu when all of a sudden much to my surprise as they say the whole thing seemed to shut off. so....

now there is no center vent just like before and the the 3 pods you can see in the glove box seem to not be working very well. so i pulled the rubber hose connection to the vac manifold and wow i can't feel any vacuum. obviously there is a little because i can see the single dual chamber in the box moving but not far and no way fast.. the dual actuator pods don't seem to move at all. now down below the ccu there is another vacuum item that has a lever that connects with a plastic rack and pinion gear. it moves but very very slowly. so i am figuring not enough vacuum so i have looked at the y connector that attaches to the 2 red vac lines and it's a bit hard and loose at best. so tonite i'll get some new vac lines and see.

question.... am i missing something. i'm taking any and all tips
