would like to see other setups to help me on routing stuff
Going to follow these thread. I am in the same boat.

Personally I would borrow hard lines from the 86+ HO to handle the heater core hoses. If they interfere with the fuel lines I'd move the fuel lines to the other side.
As far as everything else, your options are do it factory or deal with figuring out how to splice it together.
Stuff?...

... if you want a clumsy steel log (that requires the idiotic intake connector as well) along the intake that heats up that duel feed fuel line real good, go for it...
What's simpler than approximately 3 feet of 3/4" (intake to larger heater core nipple) & 5/8" (water pump to smaller heater core nipple) lengths of heater hose?... and "moving" the fuel lines to the other side, accomplished by reversing the float bowls front and back, is a classic mistake somebody else around here recently did, which messes up the differing primary/secondary fuel/float bowl levels... a large no no.
OP, not being stuck with EFI ridicularity, you really don't have much "stuff" to route. Run a 3/8" PCV hose from your carb's rear port to a PCV valve in your passenger side valve cover there, and take your pick of ported vacuum from the side of the metering block there for your distributor's vacuum advance, or from the full manifold vacuum nipple that's just below the primary float bowl, and cap whichever you do not use...

Simple and effective. Idle's without vapor-lock and A/C on. The reflective fuel line cover helps.
