Unhappy P-side firewall vacuum hoses

Can anyone tell me where the 2 hoses that run through passenger side firewall are supposed to hook up to? Should there be a T-fitting with this hook up. I dont see it in my t-bird manual.
Any and all help is truly appreciated, Thanks Terry

Two hoses coming through would be for car without power door locks. One hose comes through near the fuse box. Goes to park brake release. One hose comes through above blower motor. Goes to the heater/AC controls. This one is in the shop manual. What year Thunderbird do you have? Harley

Harley, I have a 63 t-bird

My t-bird is equipped with power door locks. There is a very small hose and a medium size hose coming through firewall, need to know exactly where they route to.on engine side, as it stands now, i have the larger hose connecting to cannister on p-side firewall and the smaller one connecting to port on wheel well, but with a t-fitting to small port on carb. My check valve is also going to this cannister on p-side wheel well and t'd to remaining port on p-side firewall cannister. Is this correct?

Thanks in advance
p.s. - Car is equipped with a/c although not hooked up at this time!

A little hard to visualize what your set-up is. "connected to port on wheel well"? Don't know what that means.. "port on wheel well"? I would think you need a hose to the door lock reservoir (on the firewall) and one from there to inside the car. You also need one from the intake (or from a "T") to a reservoir for the AC/heater. That one with a check valve in line. From the AC/heater reservoir to the control on the console.
