84 Accord project

Yea, I'm the new guy here. I have worked on lots of bikes and muscle cars but not to many imports so I'm gonna try to make this Accord a learning tool. Bear with me as I learn alot of stuff you guys probably know by heart.

The Car: 84 Accord 1.8ltr CVCC(cali) eng. 5spd 4dr sedan. P/S (not working), P/B, P/L, P/W, A/C (not working), Cruise (not working). Only mod to the car is the exhaust has been replaced (old one was rusted off) from the flexjoint to the tailpipe. It's a full 2"pipe, no cat, and a Thrush Turbo muffler (full 2" through the core)

The Goal: Make it go like mad and handle like it's on rails

#1 Hurdle: Emissions crap (I 'm not worried about federal regs cause I live in Puerto Rico) I received the car in a poor state of tune. The worst problems are high idle and stalling at stops. I am assuming a possible vaccuum leak as the most likely culprit but amount of vaccuum lines is crazy! Does anyone here know how to minimize these to only what is really necessary to run well.

Any constructive comments are welcome.
