Default Chevy Caprice 1991 Help!

my car, on a cold morning a week or two back was having some issues. when I was starting it up and backing out the whole dang car began to vibrate. I ignored this, needing to be at work in 15 minutes. after work I checked on the car and found a tube had disconnected, I reconnected it, thinking that would fix the issue; It did to a degree, but it was still vibrating a very noticeable amount. I did some searching and found my fuel filter may be in need of replacement. I wanted to double check if thats the problem here, seeingas I want to do the replacement myself but being 22, out on my own don't really have any extra money to toss around for temp fix parts.

other issues: while on the freeway home the car began to kind of lose rhythm, it seemed like the engine was skipping a couple beats, I had a similar issue when it needed spark plugs replaced but all the plugs are now new.
I have checked oil levels, coolant is fine so I'm suspecting it isn't a heat thing.
when I am braked and let off enough to barely roll forward the rumbling/vibrating goes into overdrive, I am shaking bad enough that I have difficulty focusing on objects.
It seems like the issue gets worse the more I am driving. from work to home and vise versa I can make it about halfway before I have any unusual or pronounced vibrations.

Sounds like U-joints or something in the transmission to me. Check the fluid for color, smell, and level.
