HELP! I dont know what im doing

I swapped my engine out thanksgiving and since I got home for xmas I have been workin on it. A friend of mine helped me with the swap and is suppose to get his friends who know a lot about swapping to help too. Well, his friends havent really been helping at all and he is too busy. SO im stuck cause I dont know enough to finish the job. I did the simple things such as bolt on the headers, spark plugs, carb and installed the B&M shifter but stuff like VACUUM i have noooo idea how that works. I have the old vacuum hoses from the 305 but i dont know how to hook it up. Can anyone help me?

vacum lines aren't that hard. pretty much you just have to have a vacum source for the brakes, ditributer, and maybe crankcase ventilation. most likely you will have to plug some of the holes, very seldom do you use all the vacum lines. i hope this helps, thats all the vacum sources i used.
