looking to confirm vacuum line routing for 289 and C4

What goes where?

Have rubber line from dizzy to holley?
tranny mod to manifold?
brake booster to manifold?
breather from rocker cover to air cleaner?

with the tranny is there a preferred route?

Year, AC or no, manual or auto?  Dual diaphragm advance or single (or none)?  Original routing differ a bit for each.

On a 68 289, Imco, Auto no AC

- diaphragm primary (front) to carb (yellow stripe)
- daiphragm secondary (rear) to vacuum tree middle (green stripe)
- manifold vacuum to top of tree (red stripe)
- manifold vacuum to air cleaner snorkel (blue stripe"

On a 68 289, Imco, Auto w/AC

- diaphragm primary (front) rear to vacuum tree middle (green stripe)
- daiphragm secondary (rear) to tee, tee to tree lower and intake vacuum (red stripe)
- top of tree to carb (yellow stripe)
- manifold vacuum to air cleaner snorkel (blue stripe)

On a 68 289, Thermactor, Manual w/AC

- diaphragm primary (front) rear to vacuum tree middle (green stripe)
- daiphragm secondary (rear) to tee, tee to tree lower and intake vacuum (red stripe)
- top of tree to carb (yellow stripe)
- manifold vacuum to air cleaner snorkel (blue stripe)
- manifold vacuum to air bypass valve (smog pump system)

Generally;

- brake booster goes to tee at rear of manifold, hard lline from brass fitting to near booster, rubber from hard line to booster
- transmission modulator line goes to rear manifold vacuum tee, if OEM clips hold hard line to near tee, the  rubber from hard line to tap
- pcv/closed crankvcase vent; oil filler cap to air cleaner, opposite side pcv valve, hose to tap on carb spacer.

So the answer is... "it depends"
