Your best bet now is to take your vehicle to your local mechanic or find another 1988 Ford like yours and note the location of the vacuum hoses or buy a shop manual. In the future, take a picture of your engine before starting the work to refer to later, as you need it.

I recently had to remove my carbeurator for repair and when I replaced it I think I have crossed some vacuum lines because now the engine idles rough especially after it warms up. How do I find out where I went wrong

The one I think you are refering to you runs to the intake and is well know for dry rotting and causing an engine rough idle.

I noticed a black vacuum type hose bundled with a red and green hose located to the left against the firewall. The red and green(maybe blue it's faded)connected to two connection points which also have electrical connections. The black hose is not connected to anything and I can't find anywhere it would go, doesn't seen to affect perfornance, it has a sort of bend in the last couple of inches.I just replaced the upper vacuum tank as it was busted.I had been looking for any other possible leaks and noticed the hose, it is not connected to the vacuum side but goes downward on the left side of the engine.

With the engine running it does not pull any vacuum. This is a plastic line, there is no swell near the end of it like the ones with rubber boots, just curved near the end.

If it is plastic, chances are it broke and the other end is hidden in a place you can't see it. Have you tried spraying starting fluid around the area where it may have been to see if the RPM's go up? If you do it, be careful. It could catch fire if it hits an area that is hot enough on the engine.

I have replaced the DPFE Sensor, EGR Regulator, EGR Valve. Cleaned the intake EGR from the vacuum head checked the vacuum hoses. The only thing that I have noticed is that the green vacuum hose that comes off the EGR is that I can not feel a suction on the hose. Is this normal?

The green line wont have any vacuum until the PCM wants to apply EGR, usually at light throttle cruising. If yyou have access to a vacuum gauge, run a line to the green line (EGR disconnected) so that you can watch the gauge when driving to see if the EGR is being applied. This system also should have an EGR solenoid that could fail keeping it from applying vacuum to the valve
