Update on Newbie questions-Swedecar

Just an update on my high idle and cooling fan problems...last night I changed the thermo switch for the fan after touching the 2 fan wires together and finding that it worked. Only downside is that in the process, the nipple above the sensor broke off. It looks like it was repaired once before, and was loose to begin with. I'll have to look into getting that repaired (it's always something!)
I took the AIC off and gave it a good cleaning with carb cleaner, did the same with the throttle plate, and replaced all the vacuum hoses I could see in the engine compartment. In the process I discovered a couple of plastic bits that had broken due to age. The one way valve that is inline just before the PCV valve had a broken nipple, the plastic bit at the end of the throttle cable is broken, and there's a vacuum hose coming off the top of the intake, the one pointing to the passenger side of the engine comp. that feeds into the left fender but doesn't connect to anything.
All that aside, the car now idles much better! It's amazing what a couple of hours under the hood will do! Now if I can only get that rad fixed tomorrow, I may not have to wirk on the car for at least a couple of days!
