Holley Carburetor Installation

First off. YES. I have searched. For about an hour in fact. I could not find anything that benefits my question. So here goes:

Can anybody walk me through (preferably with pics) what goes where, and what can be removed with the installation of a holley 465cfm (it might matter...) carburetor? I have a ported intake to fit, MSD electronic fuel pump, and Mallory fuel pressure regulator to go with it. Except those have already been installed.

My main concern is the vacuum lines. I dont want to have any vacuum leaks, but i have done the "rats nest removal" (thanks pratch and rx7carl!) and had it run with the stock nikki carb.

Anybody help me out?

Keep it simple. My nikki has one throttle cable, one choke cable, fuel line and one vacuum line teed to the distributor. Capped everything else off real good Runs awesome! Better than when I had it new 20 years ago.
