Default 1972 Carburetor Hook up

I am installing an intake manifold with a used carburetor on a car that had been dismantled, can anyone point me in the right direction to the vacuum line hook up. I don't have power brakes and am not sure where the line out the back of the carb goes, or if I should just plug it up since there is no power booster. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi jh,
Since there's no p/b you can certainly plug the outlet at the rear of the carburetor.
Regards,
Alan

Here's a 71 q-jet with the plug.

I thought so, but guess I just needed verification.
Thank you
