Every vacuum booster I ever saw was in the back of the carb it is the same as the manifold. Do you have a vacuum gauge you could put on it to see if the hose is good. Most have a metal tube from the carb to just above the valve covers then change to rubber to the check valve. It is a very stiff hose so it won't collapse with the vacuum.
