idle problem

My father just bought a 83 motor home with a 460 in it. the other day i removed the air cleaner and installed a new coolant temp sender then reinstalled air cleaner, now it idles at like 1500rpm, i figured i probably bumped a vacuum line and unplugged it but i looked all over today and could not find anything unplugged, this 80's emissions stuff is way over my head i am not sure what half of the stuff does or what it is and the 150 vacuum lines dont help, has anyone had this problem any help would be great
