They're for thermostatic vacuum switches used in the late '70s. Plug them.

Mr Gasket does some nice chrome Hex plugs that make it look better then the hardware store stuff. I've just used them on exactly the same manifold. Comes in a set of plugs, I used two of them for these holes and another for what would be the temp sender.
