Hey Cindy - do you have an AIM for your car?  That should have all the vacuum hose routing diagrams in it.  Another source would be a GM Service manual.  The aftermarket manuals (Chiltons/Haynes/etc) might have them as well but the AIM or the GM Service manual would be my first choices.

If this is an automatic trans, you'll need a vac line to the modulator, which would come from the intake. You also need vac to the interior of the car for the HVAC system, and that can run off of one of the front vac fittings on the carb, assuming both of those fittings are "full" vac sources, and not "ported". Ported vac is only there with the throttle open, compared to full time vacuum that is always present.(for anything other than wide open throttle).

Was that your question?

On "BLKBRRD" there was a line from the charcoal canister to a vacuum port on the Q-Jet to pull from the canister to the carb.  Three other lines to the canister were vent lines from the fuel tank (1) and the carb (2).
