craig, did you not get my sketch??
behind (towards the rear of the car) the alternator there is a rubber nipple about 1 1/2" long that just pulls off.
replace with vacuum hose but remember to keep the nipple for future use!!
If your still stuck then I will mail you a pic later today.
good luck, its easy-peasy.

The alternator is right at the front of the engine bay, just behind the rad.
correct.
the nipple you need is just behind that.

I routed the hosing down in the corner between the a-pillar (offside) and windscreen.
it looks tight but it goes all the same.
I drew power from the radio cassette, grounded to my earthing point that I added to the offside turret mount.
if you havent done that then either ground to a good chassis point or the radio cassette again.
between the engine bay and the cockpit there are a load of grommits that allow you to pass things through and then I ran it alongside the coolent hosing and cable tied off to support it.
