Pics don't show big but the first I believe you are missing the return spring and can't really tell how the cable is hooked up.  The second looks like the axle vent tube is just broke and the third maybe is the fuel sending unit wire hanging.  Hard to tell from the pic size.

I tentatively agree, but larger pics would be a great help.

I also agree about the ID of the parts.

The throttle cable should hook to the small hole in your linkage.  I use the rod and it has a tab that fits in the hole and is held in place by a cotter pin.  You should also have a return spring that pulls the throttle back when you let off the gas.  There are various types but mine hooks to the large hole in the linkage and connects to a bracket on the manifold.

The vent line just relieves the pressure from the rear.  It doesn't "go" anywhere per se.  What you have "works" as far as relieving pressure but should be connected and routed as to keep water out of the rear/keep grease in the rear.  Cut off what's left of the line connected to the rear and pull the hose down a little and reconnect it.

The last pic appears to be the sending unit cable.  If it is going up through the trunk (hard to tell due to the tank) then the end hanging connects to the sending unit.  The hanging line at your wheel well (blocked by the glare) appears to be a hard line that has been bent back.  It's very hard to tell.  I'm assuming that is the same line that comes across the floor and is in the bracket on the left hand side of the pic.  I don't see it connecting to anything and would assume it was a "modification" of some sort.  It's too small to be a fuel line and appears to be some sort of brake line rerouting job.  Does it connect to anything on the other end or is there something else we're not seeing?

I'm going out of town tomorrow but will try to get some pics up tonight that may help you with this.

Pretty sure that the line in the last pick is an electrical lead that plugs into the sending unit on the forward side of the tank. Without that pluged in your gas gage won't work. It actually just snaps over the terminal.

thanks for your help guys

Doesn't 69 have a ball stud type fitting that the end of the cable snaps onto?

The "wire" on the last pic on the left kind of looks like 1/8" plastic tube, like what you'd use for air shocks.

Last pic does show the lines remaining from an air shock set-up.
