Installing an intake manifold?

I have everything to install my intake and carb this weekend but the directions don't mention what all the little holes are for besides bolts, and throttle linkage. Anyone have any ideas? It's an edelbrock 2121

Uh.... the only holes I could think of would be for temp. sending unit, vacuum ports, return spring bracket....... some holes could be unused.

Would the stock items fit no problem or do I need aftermarket parts? I know ones for a brake boost which I will plug but I have a hose coming from one of the cable covers, one in the front by the distributor and that's about it. Looks like it should all line up no problem but then again

Most af these manifolds are pretty much replacements, so most stock brackets should work. Some may have extra vacuum or water ports that will have to be plugged.
