The one where the valve seats at the bottom of the unit is the inlet, so that side will go to your charge pipe...

The other is the outlet, you can run a pipe away from the area to dump it, or dump it into the DP, or some guys leave an empty flange and just let her out...

As far as vacuum lines go I would double check on the manufacturer guidelines, but in the case of my Tial the top port stays open to atmosphere and the side port is where it gets the reference.

Hope this helps
