2 small vac tubes at front = 1 to fuel pressure reg , 1 to some little box (connected to inlet with bracket) near battery side of inlet
shiney black tube at side was to small breather on rocker cover
matt black to coolant on inlet if i remember
and red went to small connection on coolant bottle if i remember

hmm i wonder if the actual throttle body itself is different then and the vacuum pipes are moved down.
In which case you might be better off finding a different tb or keeping the adapter but maybe take the butterfly out?
