Yah, I replaced the hoses as soon as I found them.

Drove it again last nite and I think either A) thermostat is opening slow or B) air bubble is massive ...

C) Air bubble is massive and I have internal leak sustaining the airbubble, is why I can't bleed it out successfully. ..

I found a 94 motor that runs great for $350 or one with head gasket (haha irony) problem for $200 ...

but they are about 500 miles away from me ...

A gearbox with no play will bring $200 easy....

Brand new pumps I found around $500 and same with gearbox ...

Only 'new' part is gonna be a pressure hose :P

Hell my motor is blowing up, power steering is out, brand new tires and wheels, immaculant interior, new sound system ..

guess all i have left is to burn up the tranny and rebuild it (i laugh to keep from crying)

The can is an oil separator and the hose goes to your intake hoe right? It is used to burn off positive crankase vent gasses. Emissions thing. If it leaks air in, it will make your idle rumble..
