I put all new hoses on the emission side of the car. I'm sure there was more than one vacuum leak. But now my gas mileage should go back to normal.
Prior to starting the car to test the validity of my work, I listed everything on paper that need to be checked. Oil, Water, new thermostat gasket, hoses, tools out of the way, etc. Here is the diagram that I marked up to guarantee that all hoses were connected to the correct places and snugly fit.
Also, I added new carburetor base plate* gaskets as that was the supposed leak all along, but I'm not too convinced regardless of spending $170 for that diagnosis.
* Also known as a phenolic plate, which is a fancy word for plastic. hah
