I had to remove the engine during a manual transmission kit installation. I wish I had photographed the vacuum line routing. I'm running rich which leads me to believe that I have not routed the vacuum lines for the fuel regulators correctly. Can anyone with a 1989-1991 with Marelli Ignition send a few photos of how your vacuum lines are routed, please? Any other thoughts on running rich?

I think you can get an actual vacuum schematic on Jaguar-Lovers Forum website.
You might have to establish a membership for a few days by connecting with a few posts.
As a former XJS owner, 1994, they were the most helpful and active of that Marc.
Maynard is a BCF member here also with tons of XJS experience.
He might want to chime in with help.

Is there a vacuum routing diagram under the bonnet? I will look at my 94 and post it if I have one.
