Did I reinstall my carbs right?

I just finished cleaning my carbs, but it's my first time removing/installing them and I want to be 100% sure I have all the hoses connected correctly before I start the bike. After connecting the chock and throttle cables, and the fuel line at the bottom, I have a couple hoses left and I have no idea where they go. Here's a pic of the carbs:



I tried to arrange the unconnected hoses outside the bike's frame, where they'd be easy to see. I'm not sure about the two forking hoses at the bottom of the pic, and the one thicker hose at the top of the pic. There's also a T connector between the two carbs, and I can't find a hose that fits it (you can see this in the pic too, pointing straight out between the carbs). Will the bike run OK as is, or do I need to do something with those hoses?

Thanks for the link. My carbs seem to have a bunch of extra hoses that aren't in any of the how-to's, though. I think it the California emissions crap, makes it much harder to remember what goes where. I'm just going to try starting it up and hopefully those extra hoses don't really make much of a difference.
