Is the line your looking for goes over to the charcoal canister part way then connects via vacuum hose and on the other end connect to the carb. If so I may have one but no promises.

You still looking for these parts, Machota100? I know I have the metal line and pretty sure I have the vacuum switch too. Off a '79 TA 400.
