If the 3t40 tranny is NOT computer controlled. That would mean that it must utilize vacuum, correct?

Yup. The 3T40 is about as old school as transmissions get. It's derived from GM's TH125, which was their first transverse mounted production transaxle, way back in the X-bodies.

Ok cool. Now where abouts does the vacuum line connect? From modulator? ANd does that usually come from the booster?

Comes down from the bottom side of the brake booster, IIRC. Been years since I've seen one though.

The TH125C / 3T40 isn't vacuum actuated either, it uses a Throttle Valve (TV) Cable. The cable is connected to the throttle body next to the throttle cable. The TV cable is adjusted differently, depending upon the model car and the year. You best bet for adjusting it is a manual such as Hayne's or Chilton's. The only electrical connections are for the Torque Converter Clutch (TCC), shift indicator lights (if equipped), Speedometer / odometer pick-up and back-up light switch.
