Carburetor Frustration...

This is my first truck and carb install. Ive been to the parts store numerous times and they all seem to be pointing me into the wrong direction in completing this seemingly simple task. I have a 77 swb and im installing an edelbrock carb 1806 on to my stock gm manifold. I got the Adapter/fuel line kit and banjo fitting. I removed the old carb just fine. Now when installing the new carb, I dont see how the throttle cable, kickdown cable or return spring hookup. I checked out the video on Edelbrocks site and ofcourse he breezes through it but my truck is an automatic and I have an extra cable. My throttle cable snapped into this bracket that mounted in the back of the old carb mounting holes but it wont fit onto the new carb because the holes are different. Its almost as if my cables have the wrong type of hookups... and its a little confusing... Here are the pics...






I asked the guy at the auto store to tell me what I need.. He said use Mechanic ingenuity... Really frustrating because I wanted an answer and not a riddle....

Any Ideas?
Thanks!
