PLEASE HELP vaccum/emissions questions

believe me guys i have searched this but there is so much info i cant put it all together and actually figure out what i need to do.....ive swapped my 89 camaros 305 TBI to a 350 MAF style TPI......all i wanna do is get the thing running finally after 6 months and im getting stuck on this......im keeping all of the emissions stuff including: charcoal canister, AIR, egr....ive got the AIR figured out but do i need a new charcoal canister? none of the diagrams make any sense to me....i have the EGR solenoid from the TPI and pretty much all of the parts from the old setup(TBI) and the new(TPI).....can anyone shed some light on where all the different lines and hoses hook up? there are also 2 of those harder plastic hoses incorporated with a part of the harness in the firerwall that im clueless about

Basically my main question is, what parts do I use from each setup and where do they connect? Thanks guys, i appreciate the help in advance

What year is the TPI? There are some slight differences across the years.
