The fuel line is factory. I love that design on them, very easy to service. The filter can is bent and should be replaced, which is common when people don't use a backing wrench properly.
Vac tee is going to my test gauge, which is sitting on the fender out of the photo. The normal routing is the steel hard line from front of the carb between the emulsion screws, into a hose (where the clip mounts to the manifold), and direct to the distributor. That is one of two manifold vacuum points on these AFBs and the only item that uses manifold vacuum is the distributor. 63's also have a "reverse" PCV system--the PCV screws into the back of the carb with a 90 degree pipe fitting and the PCV valve has a NPT end on it as well. That connects to the former draft tube location next to the distributor, again combination of hard line and tubing.
