Follow your top radiator hose to the engine, when the hose comes to an end you'll see an aluminum housing, inside that is where your thermostat is.

pic 7 = inlet and outlet tubes for heater core


pic 8= should go to a rubber block with other vacuum lines attached, which I don't see in your pic.

Since your showing that vacuum line that comes from either the TAB or TAD sensor I'm guessing your 87 had that rubber block.
I have no idea what that rubber block/manifold is called or where you could find it new, my best suggestion is a wrecking yard.
