On a 700R4, there isn't any vac fittings (unless somebody got slick and rigged a vac switch to run the TCC) I'd follow that line and see where it really goes..and why it is there. My first guess is that it is the body's vac line for the heater/ac system.
Otherwise, there are only two types of vac on the carb, full manifold and ported. The ported one should be on the metering block, passenger side, just above the idle mixture screw. It goes to the distributor's vac advance can. The rest of the vac fittings are down low, on the throttle plate.
For a 3rd gen, you need two large diameter manifold vac ones..one for the power brake booster, and one for PCV/Canister Purge...typically you only get one large vac port on the carb and have to use a pipe fitting on the manifold for the other.
That leaves the small diameter full vac fittings on the carb. You need one for the body's vac system (HVAC, etc, etc.) Another for the Cruise Control system, And the rest are for anything else you might want (like a vac gauge in the pillar)
