Is this a stock Canadian Cutlass that came with a 305 and no CCC system? Are you just reinstalling the same carb that was already on there? Are you running all the emissions crap and want it all set up factory stock?

Following the vacuum line diagram under the hood is not hard to do and shouldn't be beyond your ability, especially since all you have to concern yourself with is the carb and not the rest of the engine. I think you're selling yourself short. Just get out there and give it a try. Yes, it appears to be very complex, but really it's not as hard as you may think. Just follow the lines on the diagram! Easy!
