I believe that your problem is a mere coincidence because your transmission doesnt shift using vacuum prearsure. What you could have done is removed the tranny kick down lever, and it is a real possibility that you screwed up the shift rods and levers some how, but not by playing with vacuum lines

Actually, the tranny does rely on vacuum to determine shift points. This is controlled by the vacuum modulator.

I'm sure you disconnected the VM during your troubleshooting - or, you hooked it up to a source that does not provide manifold vacuum.

The tranny won't shift out of first if the VM is disconnected.
