If it's an agency power bov you plug one vacuum line with a bolt( got to find your own nothing comes with the kit) and the other you attach to the side of the bov. You only need one line because you plug the other hole in the f tube and the return with the aluminum plugs that came in the kit. Just make sure you install it at the farthest back (deepest into the engine bay, it is easier to maneuver it in there) spot on the f tube and replace all those annoying spring claps with traditional hose clamps. You may have to remove the horn as it is a tight squeeze. hope this helps

Did you get my PM from last night? Basically says the same thing as the post above mine
"Ok, let's see what I can remember here. I changed out the top pipe for a 90degree reducing angle and got rid of the F-pipe.
If you keep the F-pipe, you will need to plug the un-used half. The lower will also need a plug. I think they both come with the pipe. I picked up a plug from lowes I believe.
The little brass nipple gets the vacum line that used to plug into the top of the DVs. The vaccuum lines split before the DVs, so you can remove the "T" and plug in a new line to directly to the single BOV. I used something from the auto parts store for that.
I also got rid of all the goofy german clamps and put in regular screwdriver type hose clamps.
There was a decent write-up from another guy who did it, but he eliminated a bunch of check valves and stuff too."
As mentioned above, the other option is to plug the 2nd Diverter Line. It really makes a lot more sense when you look at it all in place.

You need one to still connect to the brass barb on the BOV, the other can be blocked. I took where they split and cut it, installed a new hose to that and connected the single line only.
I can try to take a picture in the daylight tomorrow, but the garage is just too dark
