Either one is valid.  The vacuum unit is a retard, meaning it only makes a
difference at idle.  It's only purpose was to reduce emissions at idle ...
and IMO it's effectiveness was always suspect.

Method #2 is simpler, but some people have had trouble getting the idle down
without the retard.

One of mine is connected, the other is not.

If I were following in your footsteps, I would have had Jeff & Jeff make the
appropriate mods to implement vacuum advance, just because it offers
slightly better fuel economy.  But IMO it's not worth going through all that
again, just for the advance.
