You can do away with the vacuum advance if you wish as the main reason it's used is for emissions purposes.

If you'd like to keep it then run the vacuum hoses down to two of the nipples on the plastic carb spacer. It probably doesn't make any difference but I used the middle two.

Maybe I can get someone to help me plug those hoses up and get rid of my rats nest when I goto the Texas RX-7 meeting in Austin at the end of next month
