Swapping TB

I'm trying to install the 55mm TB I bought from imthefit. Any hints on how to reattach the vacuum hoses? The nipples on the stock body don't appear to be removable and the bored body just has flanges with no tube extension.What am I missing here?

Exact! You now move a lot more air in the engine with the bigger throttle body with less input from the pedal! It also makes the car jumpy in traffic but nothing you won't get used to...
