My 81 had two hoses protruding from that boot. One was the breather hose to the valve cover and the other was the air regulator hose. And this hose can't be re routed to the adapter cause the air regulator hose from the boot went to the rear of the air regulator (toward the firewall). The front end of the regulator is what would go to the adapter.

And when I had my 60mm TB I simply eliminated the air regulator all together. i just raised the idle speed a little bit to about 1000rpm so that when the car was cold started it wasn't too bad. I also eliminated the cold start valve to compensate for the removal of the air regulator. From there the breather tube can be replaced with a breather filter on the valve cover.

yeah the lower hose in that pic is the one to the air regulator. The upper hose in the pic goes to the valve cover (breather hose).
Shady, that appears to be the 280zx TB in your pics
The type that came with both air regulator hose provisions (unlike Nemesis's TB) and had the idle screw incorporated.
