My 81 has the extra port. Your routing has the same effect, flow of metered air from before the throttle to after the throttle across a venturi tube, to provide a reliable vacuum for the brake booster. The hosing at the AAR changed when the new port was added, which makes for a slightly neater arrangement and less hose overall; on my car the hose goes straight down to the extra port instead around to the AAR hose. BTW, it shouldn't be a T to the brake booster; it should be more of a Y-shaped tube with the side port going to the brake booster.
