The vac advance portrd vacuum is on the passenger side of the front metering block (near the choke housing). The tranny can go to the port on the front of the baseplate. Front of carb on the passengerside close to the intake.
I wouldn't run direct vacuum to the tank vents, unless it has the solenoid valve in the line and it is working properly.

That would work. Do you still have the charcoal canister, you could just leave it hooked to there.

You need to swap the two small lines. The bottom one should go to the canister and trans and the top one should go to the vacuum advance.
