Boost readout 0.0 5kcstq - broke something

[barry at moonbeast.com]

Okay, I replaced the small 2" braided vacuum line that connects the hard white 
plastic vacuum line that enters the firewall and the larger one that comes off 
the intake manifold.  'Twas quite brittle- that seems to have fixed the boost 
readout function on the instrument cluster.  -BUT-

Before replacing that, I attached a hand vacuum pump with a gauge to that white 
vac line to see if I could get the readout to change.  That was almost 
certainly a mistake.

Now, when I'm off the gas in traffic, the car will now occasionally drop to 
~500 rpm and sometimes it will die if I don't give it a little gas to keep the 
idle up.  Also, the AC functions seem to be only partially functioning- I can 
only get a small breeze to come out of the vents, it's like the center console 
flap actuator has broken.  Have I toasted that vacuum controller thingy that 
sits behind the glovebox?  What else might I have broken, and should be 
checked?  Making a boneyard run tomorrow, lemme know what else I should 
probably yank out of a junker.

Thanks guys-
