Hi,

The vacuum pipes within the bulkhead are V1 and V2 in the image below:

The plumbing of the vacuum system is detailed in the service manual:

The V1 pipe forms part of the circuit highlighted in the darker blue. The V2 pipe is in the light blue part of the circuit. Therefore, looking at the top photo:

LH of V1 connects to white tube on reaction valve on master cylinder
RH of V1 connects to rear of brake servo
LH of V2 connects to a T-junction, one side connects to lower outlet on the brake check valve on the Reservac tank the other side connects to rear metal outlet of the reaction valve.
RH of V2 connects to the front of the brake servo

Finally the top outlet of the brake check valve is fed from the inlet manifold.
