Default Quick question about hooking up Street Avenger

Alright, I'm in the process of hooking up my new Street Avenger 670 on my 72 L-48. I just have a simple question about the vacuum hoses...I know the largest hose is for the PCV (the black one on the left in this pic) and apparently the right one is for the carbon canister...



Looking at the manual for the Street Avenger, it has two vacuum ports on the front of the carb - one for the PCV and the other just says "Full Manifold Vacuum" - this port is the only one close enough for me to hook up the carbon canister hose, so can I just hook it up there? Also, on the passenger side of the car:



is another hose which apparently is for the wiper door. The only port on the carb left is the one for the distributor vacuum advance...can I hook this last hose up to that or what? Sorry for the stupid questions, I have a lot more experience/knowledge with EFI, this is my first carb'd car

I believe the wiper door uses "full manifold vacuum". Not sure if the distributor advance port will have enough "pull". Do you have a vacuum fitting that screws directly into the manifold?

My car has a "t" fitting (1/4" hose?) in the manifold which operates the auto trans kick-down and the headlight doors (no wiper door on '74). Coming from the carb are cannister hose, egr hose, pcv hose & distributor.
