No power brake vacuum should ever have a T junction. It's one of the only accessories that needs full manifold vacuum.

If it's connected to breather and vacuum from the trans, then you need to use a single vacuum port for the power brakes and another separate vac. port for the trans. You don't need a breather on the trans vacuum either. If you've ran out of ports on the carb, install a fitting in one of the air/vacuum ports of your intake manifold

The 4160 has a few different designs, but yours sounds like it has two large ports and a smaller vac. advance port. If that's the case, the larger port at the front next to the smaller dist. vac. port is the PCV vacuum. The larger port at the back is the power brake booster.

Some 4160 models (for cars w/out power brakes) have two ports - one at the back for PCV and one smaller one at the front for vac. advance or accessories

PCV rids fumes from the crankcase, EGR does the same for exhaust. You don't need any emissions regulation on that car... but DO need PCV or your engine will be building pressure like mad. A few problems you listed sound directly related to not having a PCV valve

It sucks that 10$ could've been saving you headache for a while
