Default Timing issues? Maybe? Newbie w/ Stangs

Hi Guys,
Look I am new to Mustangs and the forum so give me a break. I have removed canister in front passenger side lower bay area and also removed the hoses from pollution pump and capped them off, the 2 on the canister i connected together and adjusted my timing with the marks on the distributor. Well now it will idle & cycle 500-1000, 500-1000, you get the picture. Anyways I have learned a lot about the car and redone and fixed just about everything wrong with it. I also pulled codes and I came up with 81, 82, and 85, and once car has ran for a while it's a bitc h to get in gear sometimes. I had to put washers on the new clutch cable but something still acting weird, ANY HELP WOULD GREATLY BE APPRECIATED!! Thanks

One other thing is the guy before me put a BBK CAI and I have had the pollution pump out of the picture for a while. The problems started after slight distributor movement and canistor removal. What do you guys do with all the vacuum hoses? I know some need vacuum and some need pressure and vv once you driving.

No, I don't have one. Would you know about the vacuum hoses I was talking about?

Where are the vac lines located or connecting to or use to be connected too! You have to use a timing light and also remove the timing spout set to a degree between 10*-18* base and the ecm controls and runs the timing!

The vac lines can be plugged depending on there use and such!
