The right one you can simply cap off. The one on the left should have two nipples. The larger of the two nipples hooks up to your brake booster via a hose. The other nipple can be capped off. Auto stores usually carry a variety pack of vacuum caps that you can use.

I have 2 nipples on the intake I don't know what to hook to them

Trace it back to its source. It looks like the brake booster vacuum hose.

My rectangular vapor canister had three hoses attached: one to the top and two to the bottom. I removed the top hose and left it uncapped.

One of the bottom lines to the canister is a fuel vent hose from the gas tank - it connects to metal tubing towards the firewall. You want to keep that hose. The other bottom hose can be removed and the vapor canister nipple capped off. A drop of liquid dish soap on the nipple will aid installing the cap if it is too tight.

Those look like original hoses to your master cylinder...
