high idle..loss of power? vaccum leak?

i have a 91 v6 camaro rs
first thing it just recently got it running again.
the car idles around 1500rpms and when warm just over 1000.
seems to be a lack of power when on the throttle..slow acceleration.
i hear a vaccum leak from inside the dash near the middle. i have a idea of what it might be but im not sure.

any ideas??
