yes, a vacuum leak would do it. i would also re check the mounts and make sure nothing is rubbing or touching metal or the body to cause the vibration.

there are too many hoses in your car. i am here and cannot see it. listen for a hissing noise and follow it around. otherwise, get a smoke test on the intake system.
