Sucks, doesn't it?
I too replaced all connections under the hood. I took out all the plastic hard vacuum lines and spray them with brake cleaner, let dry and reinstalled. That was many years ago. Recent vacuum work I had to do, was replace the shutoff solenoid itself. Since that had the potential for a runaway, I had my mechanic do it. He had more experience than I did.
Get a hand pump w/ a gauge and see which ones do not hold vacuum, while you'll be out getting golf tees. Once you start pulling connectors, vacuum is hard to "collect" since they "leak out" when you disconnect.
