RE: Vacum Questions
Sounds like you have a mid 70's motor. They do have some vacum hoses that go to the thermostat housing. These usually found on the motors with the 2 vacum lines going to the dizzy. A pic would really help. You need to to identify what year motor you have, get a manual for that year of car and the line will be explained in there. Disconnecting anything with out understanding what it does, and what the effects will be, is not a good idea.

RE: Vacum Questions
My guess would be it having to do something with all of the strict emission rules placed on the 70s stangs. Im looking it up right now.
EDIT: this pic is a late 70s ford granada 302. the three vacuum lines are OVER the housing not connected to it. or are those just wires that look like lines?

I think the piece you see on the water neck is a vacum switch that opened or closed when the water temp comes up
