Brake Booster vacuum hose

I'm just buttoning up my b34 swap, but I'm not sure what to do with the vacuum hose for the brake booster. I'm putting the engine in as is (although I have cleaned it well) and I'm keeping the Motronic fuel injection. Do I need to run this to the valve cover where is was before, or is there something else that could be done?
Thanks,
Gareth

I'm guessing you're using the B34 intake manifold? That's the problem, the only really correct one came on '82 633s. Otherwise you will have to drill and tap or somehow insert a vacuum fitting into the manifold for your power brakes to be power. It is around the correct size, but does not connect to the valve cover breather. There is a flat spot where it came with the fitting on 633s, but it's blank on all but that one year and model.

Yes I am using the 'b34 intake. Is there anywhere in particular I need to drill, or will anywhere on the manifold do?

I just gave a motronic intake manifold that had been drilled just for this, to double 02 salvage. They may have sent it to aluminum recycling already...but I would call them and see if they still have it. Talk to Marshall and tell him that it was a part that I had dropped off.
Here is a photo of the socket that had been added:
