The top pic needs connecting up, the plug should have 'Air' on it

Second pic is the carbon canister which needs binning

Third pic is the vent valve (2 of for some reason) which is not needed

The only small bore vacuum pipe will be from the manifold to the fuel pressure regulator at the back of the fuel rail

Pipe from the rear of the car must be left open* - tuck the free end into the reinforcement structure for the LH suspension turret. The other pipe from the canister goes to the vent valve, and from there to the inlet manifold. This must be blanked off, either by blocking the connection on the manifold or blocking the end of the hose.
Leaving the vent valve connected electrically (or replacing it with a resistor) will prevent the ECU throwing up a fault code, but this code doesn't affect the running of the engine, so it's not essential.

*This is part of the standard facelift E30 plumbing, so in most cases will already be there.
