vacuum line ?? on a W123

I have a 1980 300 TD and did something stupid. I bought all new rubber fittings and soft rubber connectors so I could try to isolate some long time vacuum leaks. I took one or two off than hooked them up wrong and after trying to fix it lost track and everything is all out of place. Yes, I should have taken a pic but I did not. Before I replaced them the trans shifted perfectly. Now its terrible and the car won't shut off. I know basically which line is for what color wise, but I forgot where each goes. Can someone send me some engine pics of their and where their lines are. I'm primarily concerned with the trans line and the brown ones to shut off the car. Thanks for any help!!!

I'm partial to my thread, since it combines engine pics and diagrams.

I think it shows a five-way where the sedan and wagon have a four. The 1980 to '83 may have differences also, but it'll get you started.

I can't believe its so hard to find something specific for the 1980 NA diesels!!! I downloaded a lot of pics and diagrams and see if I can find some commonalities. Thanks for the info guys!

Could you please. That would help out so much. I think I'm getting closer to narrowing it down! But that would really help. THANK YOU!!!

what area are you needing a photo of?
I can zoom in on specific areas, or just take a wide engine bay shot.
your choice...
however, the servo is cannabalized on mine, so if you are having vacuum line issues over there, My pics won't help.

My AC system is a lost cause already lol. I'm primarily concerned with the area on the drivers side where all of the lines come through the firewall and connect to the maim vacuum line. Also which lines connect to the VCV and the top of the valve cover. Thanks so much. This will be so much help!

I figured out some plumbing to at least get it to shift properly and to have it shut off. A pic would still be helpful but I know I have a leak in the door lock system. I'll have to trouble shoot that before hooking them up.
