Vyse believed that there was no sand at Giza when construction began.
If there was water then this is the most heavily disturbed site in the world and it started before the pyramids were built. There may have been cause to remove any soil they made for farming or growing herbs.

CO2 in water is very corrosive and given time will become saturated in numerous minerals to which it is exposed. Saturation amounts can be quite high for many chemicals and things like copper sulphate are miscible in carbonic acid.
If there were geysers then it is probable the source of the CO2 was at a great distance which increases the chances that the solution would be saturated in any given chemical. Once it's saturated it can no longer dissolve that chemical is not corrosive to it. It would be saturated with most of the calcium carbonates very early on.
As soon as the gas starts coming out of solution it will begin trying to deposit any chemicals in which it is saturated. This means that it has little ability to corrode most things adfter the point it is erupting deep under the ground. It deposits minerals not dissolves them.

They've never looked.
It's not as though there would be large numbers of these. Their location is in a place that is improbable to be dug up. I believe Vyse got very close to the well for G1 about 35' east of the centerline on the north side and ten feet from the base. He dug down a great distance but gave up when a boy could dig no deeper in a large fissure.
Most of the equipment could not survive. The wood rots and the metal would have been recovered.

All caves are formed by the corrosive action of ground water. Of course water heavily laden with CO2 is far more corrosive. There is simply no reason to believe any specific cave or tunnel must have contained carbonic acid if they used geysers to build. Until the specific conduit is found all of these are just part of the natural plumbing. Don't forget that the "Osiris Shaft" has a great deal of missing material. Maybe they didn't pull nearly as much material out of here as is assumed. Perhaps much of it was already dissolved away.
