Good you fixed one issue, sounds like you have a few things going on.
As for the hose connections, it will be good to sort those out. I'm suspecting though that the disconnected hoses you're investigating now wouldn't cause the poor running condition.

I did a test without the cap it still ran poorly, but when I put it back on it ran even worse. So it did make some difference I think. But it wasn’t night it day.
The tank vent system is where I’m looking now. All the parts except for the connection to the air cleaner appear to be there. The clear lines are present, rock hard and connected. Both expansion tanks are present. I’ve always had gas smells for the first few miles after a fill up so something needs fixed.
But nothing is obviously blocked. I’m thinking of replacing all the tank vent lines and vapor capture bits, it’s all 52 years old now…
Just wish I knew how the charcoal tank connected to the air cleaner in 69.
I’m also going to either buy the parts to rig up a fuel pressure gauge or just replace the pressure release valve in the console as I think there has been issues there in years past…
