Default Vacuum libes

Just bought 69 and looking at vacuum lines. Does this look correct? Also, one line was connected to the side port of the quad carb which I no longer have.

Hello M69,
NEW old 69 Corvette! Nice!
It's difficult to tell just what's going on there.
So... I'll start with some questions.
Do the head-lights come up and go down as they should?
Does the wiper door come up and stay up when the wiper switch is slid to the left?
Do the wipers start AFTER the door opens fully?
Do the wipers return to park and stay there while the door closes?
Do the headlight stay closed when you start and stop the engine?
It's difficult to see where the various hoses are headed. Maybe a couple of photos from a little further back might help.

A lot going on!!!'
Regards...

Here's a diagram for the headlights and wipers.
