Where connections go to
The brass "T" thing is essentially a lock nut. Break it loose and the plastic head then unscrews. unscrew the lock nut piece as well, install the boot and reassemble. Clean up as desired.

wheres carb line go?
That kind of looks shorter than normal. Someone might have cut it shorter or made a replacement from some tubing. The later years 260-280's had a tube without the extra barb on them. maybe it was swapped out at some time.

Part Identification
Still shows available on the Canadian Nissan site. I also agree 260Z and yes I see the superseded numbers N3501 and N3601

wheres carb line go?
Yes that looks right. The metal tube that came from the block have had a small tube coming out. like this pic and I think it went to the one of the barbs on the fender piece.. There is a one way valve in there so the fumes go the correct way. (If you trust the internet pic it goes on the top) I am sure there is a diagram on the forum some where. Seeing you don't have the barb on the crank case exit tube, and the part is for emissions you might just bypass it's intended function and make it look hooked up. 😀

wheres carb line go?
The hose in pic 1 looks to be the vacuum advance for the dizzy. In pic 2 The three hose part is a valve for the fuel tank emissions. the hard line hooks to the rear pointed barb. One of the others went to a nipple on the block vent you have the blue hose on. The other barb vented to atmosphere. There are a number of threads on that part too. The blue caps on the carbs (red circle) a vents that used to go into the air box. Seeing you don't have that shown they would also vent to atmosphere. I hope that helps.

Hood Spring assembly
The tabs do look as if they were welded back on, perhaps upside-down. There should only be the two spot welds, and not the three glob welds on the edges.
-
Hood Spring assembly
Your mount tabs are bent straight out. They need to be at a 90 degree to line up with the hole in the grill. Should be easy enough, but the paint might chip. Here are some pic's from an older post (not mine)

Cleaning drains
Those hoses actually are mounted inside the cabin under the corners of the dash. The is a screw clamp on the cowl part not shown in this pic. You can pull them off to make sure they are clear. They exit under the fender side like jfa's pic above.

Blower Motor Assembly with Cage (1983 280zx)
First off I am glad to hear the blower and cage worked out for you. Second I am not sure what you were after if not the amplifier, No worries though. My return address should have been on the shipping label. I'll PM it to you though. Thanks for the advice @Mike I would not have posted my address on here, PM only.

New, to me anyway, Diff mount
I just have the stopper on mine. I expect this would also transfer noise through the car more so than a stock rubber piece, just not as bad as the solid one ^^ I am sure it would make quite a racket if that poly piece broke / tore while you were driving with the drive shaft bouncing around. Like when the rubber part goes and you get the "clunk" but worse. IMO

Yes please share where you find these for $40, I'd like 2 for spares. I found one for $50 years ago. but now......

New, to me anyway, Diff mount
The RT mount really replaces the strap across the top more so than the diff mount itself. A nice upgrade from the old strap set up. I might have a used "A" style diff mount if you don't mind a used part. They are hard to find new.

280Z pedal box in a 240Z
I have not tried one in the other either, just looking at the pic's it looks like the mount holes are further back as the 260/280 box is notably different.
