This is not a direct answer - sorry :(

When I swapped in a 1.8 to our '78 - I decided to
update the induction (intake) to a 1981 style. I
wanted to get rid of the miles of vacuum lines that
came with the EGR system. I replicated the 1981 no A/C
style.

If you want, I can scan the vacuum diagrams for 1979
from my 75-79 Bentley - let me know.
