I still haven't hooked up the vacuum reference.

Then your fuel pressure is fixed at whatever pressure you set it. I would hook it up, it equalizes the delta between fuel pressure/intake manifold pressure and gives you better fuel resolution at low load.
Can I hook it to any spot to the intake manifold after the throttle body? That should be easy enough I have vac caps on a few things.
As long as it is full manifold vacuum yes. You don't want to hook it to a port that is closed at idle.
New trans cooler semi in, redoing part of my lines and need a new fitting which should be here tomorrow. Going to try and mount it like this. @folkenheath warned me it would be difficult to mount. 
This thing is a monster
And yes i decided to run the fan, the grille is already cut for it so why not…

That looks like the one I had. FWIW, I mounted the fan between the cooler and radiator. My thinking was fans typically operate better as pullers and maybe it would be quieter.
Looks like the one on Fugly. Mounted vertically, under the bed, outside of the frame rails. With the fan and a temp switch.
I could put the fan on the other side sense I don’t have a condenser yet…
If vintage air didn’t cost so much I would have it already.

Debating about taking the truck out on this Sunday, what I would like to do is visit my Dad's spot (240 mile trip) but I'm not exactly sure the truck is up to the task. It's apart and needs more attention. I could do it, but I wouldn't be moving forward with progress.
If it's essential to do it this weekend then thrash and get it done.
If it's not, mean he's not going anywhere, get it done right and then go.
I mean it has 6 month old gas in it, transfer case leak and sense I swapped out the throttle body and air filter location it runs a little weird. Also need to mount the trans cooler which won't take long.
It's do able, but with it being the start of 110 degree weather my energy is low after work until I get used to it again.
113° today Forcast
6 month old gas is nothing, send it
I always put stabilizer in it too so I’m not worried about it.6 month old gas is nothing, send it
My Camaro has 2 yr old gas in it and it still runs..
Yes I know that's bad.
But it still runs.

I don't mind 10% ethanol in a daily driver that gets driven at least once/week, but anything that sits over the winter, or any 2 stroke, I don't use fuel with ethanol in it. It separates over time and causes issues when it sits. Plain gasoline is stable for longer, but I still either make sure the tank is mostly full, or mostly empty for storage. I don't want a half tank sitting there with half air to turn bad. I have never used stabilizers because of that.
I think it's pretty full but the gas gauge isn't accurate. The Holley gauge likes to sit around 90-100
I have a buddy in the state department that is gone for 3 to 5 years at a time and we keep his K30 in our shop yard. We learned the hard way to keep ethanol free gas in it. I exercise it, but not enough to use a tank of gas in 3 years. One of the times he came for a wheeling trip we spent several hours trying to figure out why the fuel pump wouldn't run. Finally determined the contact in the sending unit was corroded. We figured it was from the moisture in the tank especially considering we live in a dry climate.
Is that truck still around? Haven't seen or heard anything about him in a long time.
Yep. He's been in Africa since 2021. I took it snow bashing last year. It sits for years then we jam it down the highway 500 miles and hammer it down the trails! Haha. Almost 300K on a tbi350.
