Vacuum (PCV and Booster) options

Gday,
 
Just looking at options for the vacuum on my pinto here, I have the bike carb setup, and cylinder 1's runner did have the brake booster connected, which didnt cause too many problems, it did run lean at times, but  I never really managed to tune it out.
My problem is that I have to connect the PCV valve up, and I suspect this would normally go to the intake manifold.
When connected via a T-Piece the cylinder obviously runs very lean. 
Can it be tuned out, or is there other options to get vacuum to these 2 items?
 
Cheers,
 
Rob

    Could you put a tap into each inlet runner and then into the PCV valve?

    Do you need to connect PCV to pass inspection? If not, then weld a barb onto the 2-1 merge on your extractors and plumb to that

    Not keen on taking a tap on each runner due to a messy look... And I need to connect PCV due to oil blowing out the dipstick when its not connected to vacuum :/

    Most blow by is generated under full throttle and high rpm, however pcv is not operating under those conditions.
    So I would be looking at the main breather blockage or non existance.
