vacuum lines

I recently installed a new intake on my LG4 with a holley 600 and I can't get it to idle properly. It idles very shaky with the rpm's bouncing around and there is a lot of knocking coming from the engine compartment. I'm wondering if I have my vacuum lines hooked up right. This is how I have it hooked up: I have on line from the distributor vacuum canister to the carb, I have a line from the carb to the brake booster and pcv valve, and I have one line that runs into the firewall by the wiper motor from the carb (I have no idea what this line does). I do not have any lines into my manifold and I'm wondering if I should. Any help would be appreciated.

In the interests of safety, the brake booster should have its own line. Use seperate ports for the brakes and the PCV.
