Are you wanting to know what kind of fitting to use in the intake manifold (behind the carb?) to connect the hose coming from the brake booster check valve?  If so, 6T9 Charger used what I would call a vacuum tree that had one big hose fitting on the top and multiple little hose fittings coming out the sides.  Unused ones had little rubber plugs on the ends.  I have not found a source for these new but they can be found on 70's C bodys.  Sorry if I didn't answer your question correctly.  If so, could you elaborate more on what you need to know.  Thanks.

Headlight vacuum canister.

Orig equipped A/C Chargers would have a 3rd nipple for the HVAC door vacuum under the dash

Just so you know, there are different sized nipples that go off on the angle.  The one I got was for a N96 air grabber hood as the nipple and vacuum hose was thinner than what the supply hose to the vacuum canister on the charger is.  All I did was to cut off the thinner tube and drilled out the hole and took some brake line with the flare on the end and bent it to shape and used some JB weld to hold it in there.  Works like a charm and you can't tell the difference.
