Big end of Y to rocker cover, one leg to flywheel housing breather - remaining leg to carb
 
Assuming you have the breather port on the carb, its simple

One advantage of leaving them off is you will end up with a nice oily engine compartment which should stop the rust. :shifty:

Connecting them to the carb vacuum pipe will prevent this and also stop the engine leaking oil as a vacuum is generated in the engine to get rid of all the oily vapours.

 

Why would you want to stop the engine leaking oil? It wouldn't be an A-Series without a little bit of a leak! :D
