Had a couple minutes at lunch to look closely at the car as it stands now. The fuel pump/vacuum pump had no vacuum lines attached to it at all. The fitting on the manifold (below the base of the carb) has the large tube attached to the top, which goes to the brake booster and vacuum tank. The tube to the power brakes is capped off since the brake unit was removed some time in the past.
The smaller fitting is routed to the wiper motor. I'm assuming the line from the vacuum pump is supposed to connect to this fitting, and the other line from the pump goes to the wiper motor (like Howard said).
I'm seeing lots of oil contamination around the base of the carb, probably due to the oil getting sucked into the fuel. I'll pull the carb and clean everything up. I have new oil, just need a filter, then I'm draining everything and starting fresh. Lesson learned.
