I had to remove my exhaust pipe and noticed that my 82 did not have a metal washer (that is a brass doughnut) between the exhaust pipe and the manifold. Is it suppose to have one?

Iirc, the '81-'82s had tubular exhaust manifolds(like headers, but not really). There would be no need for any gaskets. The "manifolds" have a coned seat, and the pipes have a flared end, to fit snugly on the cone.
