I don't think anything below the heads would produce vacuum. That's only going to be between the butterflies and the intake valves.

That line going to the valve cover breather seems like a great one for your brake booster. I would consider using that port under the carb for the brake booster and finding another place for crankcase ventilation...

I would have given reps for that, but FTE doesn't trust me to decide who deserves it.

I agree with seaves46 and ebear. Use a vacuum tree or vacuum T. If you have more than a mild cam, you might also consider a vacuum canister so vacuum is always available for the brakes.

You don't say which Holley Carb your running but there should ample vacuum ports on the base plate for the needed vacuum required
