Vacuum solenoid (aka rats nest) question

So I have an 85 rx7, carbureted, that I picked up recently. The vacuum solenoids, colored connectors by the oil filler, are missing. Now I have looked everywhere I could thing of and cannot find anywhere I can buy the whole assembly. My question is does anyone know where I can buy this, or if it can just be bypassed?

The entire rats nest can be eliminated. There's a guide for that. If you want to restore it, put an ad for part wanted. I'm sure somebody has it. They also appear on ebay.
I say delete it. If you have no emissions to pass.

Yeah I'm in Oklahoma, so emissions are not important. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't needed, as I plan on putting a turbo in after the rebuild. Thanks!

If you're planning on modding your setup later, might as well can the rats nest now.

Rats nest is evil, if you dont need it for smog anymore get rid of it all.
