Should i try using one of the other vacuum hookups on the carb, even though they aren't specifically for pcv?

Hi!
Not that I'm an expert but I'd say no... it's better to install a T connection to the power brake assistant port on the carb and install the PCV connection to that I'd say. (It's not optimal but it's better than a breather I've heard)
Or you could install a vacuum pump for the power brake assistant and only have the PCV/tranny install in the carb. (More work though)
Have you cheched that the PCV valve is operational? (At least on a Pontiac engines it requires a set amount of pressure before opening up, assuming you have a PCV valve)
PCV to the air cleaner was dead wrong on my Pontiac Engine but I'm not 100% sure how it is on your engine. (I'm guessing that if you have a PCV valve you will require a set amount of vacuum to get it to open so if you only have it on the air cleaner it will never open up)
I've seen spacers with added vacuum ports. (Factory original spacers)
The cheapest way is to get a T piece or two and hock them all up to the same larg vacuum port on the carb. (Looks ugly but at least you will find out if it will work)
