X2 on vacuum. Any time I have had hard shifting issues on my 91 (or the 92 I used to own) it has been a vacuum leak.

The vacuum system is going to be very tired after so many years and miles. One of the advantages of doing the wastegate swap (do a search) is that you are able to eliminate much of the vacuum routing....fewer vacuum lines means fewer opportunities for leaks.
