Jason,
You did not say if the engine is running rough when you are out on the road. Check for vacuum leaks at the Carburetor and the PCV Valve. Check the hose to the Brake Booster. Check the hoses to the transmission and the air cleaner. Check all the hoses on the top of the engine (there are a few). Dry, hard, cracked hoses will cause you no end of grief.
Do not disconnect anything unless you know what it does. Some of the vacuum lines go to important stuff - like the distributor advance and the transmission vacuum modulator. Some of it goes to the emissions system. If you have a state inspection you may need to have that stuff working. If you don't have an inspection you may elect to disconnect some of it. But if you do it in the wrong combination you may end up with a minor drivability problem.
Make sure the carburetor is bolted securely. They tend to loosen with a lot of miles.
What is your experience level? Have you worked on cars alot?
