The short answer is everything. The gray TVS on the thermostat housing is for the Trapped Vacuum Spark, (TVS also abbreviated this way, for more confusion). That gives full vacuum advance when the engine is cold.
The other TVS controls vacuum for the EGR, the heat riser and more. The charcoal can has a purge valve that also uses ported vacuum. I don't know what port that is on the Edelbrock. If the charcoal can has sucked in raw fuel, it will melt the charcoal, clogging it all up. I'm guessing you don't have emissions inspections where you live.

no i dont have emissions where i live. I honestly want to know what i need to add back, how to add it back and, and stuff like what check valves i need to add with it.
the stuff ive marked with X's are the stuff that i have completely deleted like the EGR beside the carb (i had to get rid it because it was getting in the way of the edlebrock carb). I got rid of the smog pump. got rid of canister. got rid of the manifold lines and welded them shut. and then i plugged every port except vacuum advance.
