55 series vacuum hose routing.

Greetings all,
Does anyone have a vacuum hose layout (schematic) as the former owner has eliminated a lot of the hoses, rerouted others, etc..
He says he did nothing to the oil pump/vacuum pump in the oil pan. He did mention that there was a plate available to modify the pump and wish he had when he had the engine torn down.
I'm of the old school that why mess with what the Packard engineers designed, unless someone can show me the benefits of a modification.
Remember, I drove the car 400+/- miles home between 55 and 60 MPH - only comfortable speed due to flat spots on new (20 year old) bias belt tires and surging. Consolation, I got 13.9 MPG where I was anticipating 10 or less.
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

BTW my e-mail has been changed to aprazer10@outlook.com

Next up is the leveling system. Mine has been modified to operate manually and I'm thinking that I want to go back to the original operational system.
