Steering wheel/Ignition/Cruise control Wiring help!

Im swaping out my old steering column, mine originally had cruise control, but the replacement doesnt. There is what looks to be a vacuum hose? going from the firewall to a circuit attached to my brake pedal. Im assuming this is the release for the cruise control. But again, my replacement doesnt have cruise, is there a way to take that line off? and what do all these wires go to?

Re: Steering wheel/Ignition/Cruise control Wiring help!

I could really use some help, i need this car for work. and now when i turn the key the lights dont come on until the key is turned all the way, and the car doesnt crank or anything. i think theres something wrong with either the wiring or the ignition cylinder was installed wrong. when putting the lock plate back on in the steerring wheel, does it matter how it is put back on?
