Crankcase ventilation (black tower rising from engine, fattish black
hose going forward, may have a small heater inserted in the hose)?

Vacuum hose/checkvalve for power brakes (left side, goes forward

Vacuum tube/vacuum-operated valve for purging the charcoal canister
(right side at firewall, has a half-inch tube running through
firewall to the charcoal canister)?
