Here is a picture of the pan below my fuel tank after I removed it. The clear lines are just from my rig to clean out the fuel lines. Does anyone know if those three holes are to remain open or are there seals that go there? One large hole and two smaller holes above. Thanks in advance!

By the way, the picture looks like you still have the original fuel lines -- the first foot (ish) of each is steel and the rest is vinyl tubing. If that's the case, you should really consider replacing all the fuel lines with new steel or stainless steel tubing. The vinyl gets old and brittle over time, and too many 914s have been lost to fuel fires from broken lines.

There are several vendors on this site that sell nice stainless lines.

Thank you for letting me know about that, Bill! This is my first 914 and air cooled vehicle. It has sat for many years so i am trying to get it running on a budget to make sure it is worth it first before dropping too much money!
