Default Newly purchased 1984 CRX 1500, carb/idle questions

So I just bought an '84 CRX 1500 for a winter car while my RX-7 is in storage, and I have a few problems to sort out. The PO has some vacuum lines blocked off, and I don't know where they're supposed to go. I suspect this leads into my problem, which has to do with the idle.

First problem is that the fast idle is abnormally high, between 2500 and 3000 RPM. The second is that it won't kick down. Once it finally DOES go down, the idle quality is pretty shitty and the car tends to die when coming to a stop at a light/stop sign, etc. The car is a Canadian model and the choke is automatic.

I purchased the Haynes manual, but quickly found that it's not terribly useful.

I need a vacuum/emissions diagram for this model year car so I can figure out what vacuum lines go where, and I need to know how to adjust the fast idle downwards to a more reasonable 1500 RPM.

Any help you could render would be appreciated.

Nope, no vacuum diagram on the hood.

Thanks for the link. I did a quick click-through and the manuals were missing all the emissions sections, so I'm still SOL for the vacuum diagram.
