Are you asking again about a '34 Eight/Super Eight?

If so, the hard line from the intake that passes behind the engine is the vacuum source for everything - it supplies the power brake slave cylinder, the Bijur oiler, the power brake control valve (small round unit near the Bijur), and the windshield wipers and all of this is on the driver's side. And all this is also connected to the vacuum booster pump. The power brake and Bijur connections should be pretty obvious, the windshield wiper line goes up the driver's side A pillar.

If need be, I can probably take a few photographs.

Other than the already discussed vacuum takeoff hard line at the intake manifold, the only other fitting/line on the passenger side that I can think of is the fitting at the rear end of the oil gallery that feeds the dashboard oil pressure gauge thru a small diameter nickel-plated line and then short rubber vibration isolating link on the cowl.
