So the vacuum advance should be hooked to the carb and not the t-stat switch?

That's what I would do.

Also on that foam air filter; they are notorious for falling apart and your carb sucks in all the little pieces.

So do I hook it up to the port in front of the carb? And use a T to connect it to the port next to the choke housing? Because that seems like how its already set up using the 3 prong thermostat switch.

Run a hose from the timed port on the carb to the dizzy (it will be higher up on the carb body than manifold ports, and have no vacuum at idle), and full manifold vacuum to everything else-should have a short hose to the choke pulloff, a bigger line from the back of the carb to the brake booster, a 3/8" hose to the PCV, a small line for your trans, and one for your HVAC canister on the firewall. Then cap all the extra ports. If you have to use a tee for manifold that's fine.
