Made some progress.  Gone is the Canton T oil pan, Edelbrock waterpump, and the incorrect fuel pump. 
The distributor hold down should be zinc phosphate .It appears to look like it has been put under the wire wheel which is the incorrect finish.It may be just the picture and flash. On the power steering bracket stud there is no washer under the nut originally. From the picture I am unsure of the finish of the nut in that location however the correct finish is a brighter silver typically.The p/s attaching bolts are supposed to be zinc phosphate ,again picture makes it difficult to determine finish . Looks better.  Chug a Lug

I started the KR and no leaks from new oil pan, fuel pump and waterpump.  My last oil pan leaked at the rear main area, but it may have been due to the windage tray/gasket setup.  If the rear main is leak-free now, I will be a happy camper.  I omitted the windage tray this time.  

Do I have the correct routing and are the color coded MX vacuum lines correct as in the photo below?

Does anyone have the correct nut/bolt to attach the tilt away bracket to the underside of the dash?  I am looking to buy one.

Thanks.

The vacuum lines look correct. The green one usually has a 90 degree bend by the advance. Both mx and non mx hoses were used. The red line connects to the front manifold fitting, right? The one under the Smog can should run to the back of the manifold

Yes,  I have the red stripe hose connected to the front manifold fitting.  I had the vacuum line under the smog can running to the same front manifold fitting since there are 2 ports on it.  I wasn't sure on that one so I will reroute it to the rear fitting.  I bought these MX lines in 1992 so I think they are originals.  I don't think the green line has a 90 degree pre-formed bend in it though.

The angled tube on the front fitting has a cap. The rear fitting looks like a house, but it has onenipple on it

My rear fitting has 2 ports on it not counting the brake booster port.  I thought one rear port was for C6 vacuum line and the other was for the tilt away wheel vacuum source.  I currently don't have a vacuum source connected to the tilt away system.

Would also mention that if noticed underneath the aircleaner the stainless steel carb transfer tube between the front bowel and the back would be a source of a deduction in concours.

Wow, you guys are good.  I have a greater appreciation for real concours-level cars after creating this thread.
