I see your electronic control unit has "up" arrows marked on it indicating the proper mounting orientation. Just wondering if it has an inertia switch in it to disable cruise in the event of an impact. Anyone know? IIRC, the ones I've seen in the PnP are mounted so the front/printed side faces the centre of the car. The old 240 systems (mechanical speedometers) had a separate inertia switch mounted on the firewall near the vacuum actuator.

Looks to me like you will need some more vacuum tubing. The line to the clutch/brake switches is a fairly large ID (see the little piece on your switch) so that vacuum can be dumped instantly when the pedal is touched.
