Spit EGR plumbing?

My '74 was officially certified a gross polluter. The EGR is always open due 
to constant vacuum. One picture showed the EGR vacuum line going around to 
the small pipe that exits from behind the choke cam, left side of carb? The 
EGR should have no vacuum at idle or EGR closed, at 2500 rpm's there should 
be vacuum or EGR open and allowing exhaust gas to recirculate back into the 
intake manifold.
Mine is constantly allowing recirculation and causes rough running and gross 
polluter emissions.
I also have an anti-run on valve that is tee'd into the same vacuum line as 
the EGR both get vacuum from the left side of the intake manifold. When I 
plug that line it runs smooth, connect and it runs rough.
What is the proper plumbing of the EGR and the Anti-run on valve?
Once I get that smog cert I can finally get plates and drive after 3 years of 
restoration.
Thanks,      Rob
