Couple of Q's about a 79- kinda longish

Would it be better to run these lines from the manifold or before the TB?
I read somewhere you can use the vacuum retard with the mechanical advance,
for the best of both worlds, but can't for the life of me remember where.
Anyone know about this?

I live in Atlanta, and we have to pass smog, but this car never had a cat,
just the EGR system. Next year it will reach the 25 year mark, and won't
have to pass again. I'm more concerned with a proper air/fuel mix for engine
performance than for the emissions anyway.

Thanks for the help!
