Stupid newb ?...again...

Since im new to this carb **** I am a bit confused...I went and bought an air cleaner to drop on top...Now...here comes the ?...There was a small hose connected to the front of the carb...some sort of vaccum i assume...wheres that go now?

also...the i think its the "smog vaccum" from the PCV on the passenger side...Used to go into the side of the cleaner...Now wheres it go? I believe there might be a cut out underneath the new cleaner but how the hell do i reroute it underneath since i already needed a 1" spacer and there still is hardly enough room...

The line your refering to that use to go into the air cleaner is your clean air intake for your PCV system, a simple push in style breather in place of the line would solve the problem.
