Default 1970 454 Vacuum Loom - Where does this go?

I am installing a new vacuum loom, mostly completed without any issues so far, however three lines go into the bulkhead as per photo attached , where do each of these go and whats the best way to access them from inside the car so I can replace the old ones.

Help/guide with this would be appreciated.

Kind regards
Paul

Hi PBC,
The hose from the check valve goes through the grommet to the 'T' that's inline just before the wiper door safety switch mounted on the back of the tachometer housing. 'Might' reach it from below.
The red striped hose runs through the grommet to the upper port on the wiper door vacuum override switch mounted below the steering column. Easy reach.
The white striped hose goes through the grommet to the upper port on the headlight door vacuum override switch. Easy reach.
If the stripes have been lost pull out the grommet slightly and check if the stripes are still visible on the other side of the firewall.
Look at UPC12, Sheets A15 & B9 in the AIM. It's all shown there.
Regards,
Alan

Thank you for such a well informed answer Alan I could ask for no more, this will certainly make the job so much easier to do. Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year.
