Vaccum line and other garbage

Awww man what an adventure in the world of automotive crap... Don't me just babbling on..

FIrst problem: I need to know where the vaccum line coming off the front of the manifold (just behond the distributor goes to) I notice it just hanging there and stuck a pen in it to keep it from leaking. Yeah I know a but of Cuban engineering.... anyways.

Second problem: I pull my codes KOEO codes and I'm a getting a EGR sensor problem code 33 or 34 don't remember exactly. Any way of bypassing it or just unplugging the darn thing. I'm also getting another code for the right side O2 sensor... Right side standing infront of the car or sitting in. I already changed the driver side so I'm assuming passenger is needing replacement.

Third and most expensive problem:
So I'm cruising on I 95 with my fiancee heading to the beach last night. I was in 5 th gear cruising at about 60 when I heard a loud gunk like something broke and I lost my fifth gear completely.. I know its time for a rebuild because I'm grinding second and now third.. What rebuild kit would anyone reccomend or might it just be better to by a used one until I can get a better tranny.

Man the troubles of having a American sports car with 160,000 miles. BTW its an 87 5.0 5 speed with aboslutely NO mods.. Just bought it 17,000 miles ago 5 months ago!!!!!!
