Not sure on the bottom in/out but the top ones are for the vacuum wipers.

Does it work OK, good pressure and volume? I bet it's tough to find an exact replacement these days. The older pump materials don't get along with modern fuel.

Those aren't even correct for a Y block

I would suggest you run a line from the new pump to a clean can of gas for initial fire up.

One line to the wiper motor, the other to the intake manifold.
