Default Vacuum lines question

I have a 1995 LHD Escort Cosworth and I'm trying to figure out a second vacuum line. The vacuum line for the boost gauge is split and there are two lines that pass through the firewall. One enters the cabin just above clutch pedal pivot. The second vacuum line goes through the firewall by the brake master cylinder (lhd). One of these is for the boost gauge but what is the other vacuum line for?

Just the boost gauge in the center pod. I don't know if there was a different one fitted before I got the car.

The car originally had the EECIV (small turbo car) but was upgraded to P8 and a T35 turbo. Now currently runs a Autronic ECU

There is a separate line for the MAP sensor - which now goes to the Autronic ECU. It does have aircon. What is the scuttle - we must have a different name for it here in the USA Thanks RADMAN - that is the info I was looking for!

It's the vents at the back of the hood where the wiper motor and blower box is at.
