Just fnished engine swap..lol made a big mistake

Hello everyone my name is Ray. This is my first post. I have been working on cars since i was 16 and love it as my hobby. I have a 1995 maxima 5 speed that my girl had when she was 16 and we have had it 17 years since high school. 5 years ago the engine overheated and locked up. I finally found an engine off Ebay after it pass compression tests I purchased it and finally installed. The car runs great but after wrapping up the install I noticed I had way to many vacuum lines and sensors that are unplugged. Come to find out the engine I got was Cali spec. the car was originally Fed spec. I have been looking at alllll types of pics online I cant really understand the visual from the manual. I could sure use some help if anyone has pictures. Even my vapor canister is unplugged both hoses. I have 3 sensors up front. One green that's plugged in and one brown and one blk that isn't plugged in. Any help would be appreciated. I have code 32. I'm going to clean the egr tube again but I think it's my vacuum lines are wrong. Thanks

With some searching on this website, you should easily be able to download the factory service manual for your car.

Appreciate it guys. I also have the factory service manual but its a bit odd reading it. The throttle body i swapped so it fixed that extra sensor at the throttle body. I just need to know which metal lines to cap off and how to run the ones I have. Also seem the upper intake plenum has a metal nipple on the fed on a bit different then the cali spec one. I was able to make a hose that works for that. just need to see the rest.
