Good point. I'm not as much concerned about them since things were done any number of ways. However the Hudson and Nash setup with the vacuum pump on the fuel pump is worth mentioning.

Pretty much all the vacuum/fuel pump setups use either an original (for Hudson/Nash 320 engines) rebuilt AC 4293 pump, or use a new 1956 Ford Thunderbird pump. Either way, the vacuum lines are connected up top.

There are pictures from here of a seemingly original "Hash" 320 engine. Of course, they don't run to the exact same places as on a Packard, but it would not be hard to fab up lines and run them in the original locations for a convincing and authentic look.
