This is a 1971FJ 55

See below the two pictures I have two hoses that I can’t figure out where they go
They are located right around the brake booster

And then I also have the hose going to the brake booster and the previous owner just shoved a stick in there… literally but I’d like to replace this hose. Does anybody know what the inside dimension is?

if the booster hose is disconnected, good chance the booster is bad
in stock form there were some emission vacuum switches on the inner fender

looks to be a project rig?
 
Stick in vacuum booster hose - yes field expedient repair, mine is still in there. Leaking booster is death for cylinder # 5. Ask me how I know.

Your pic's do nothing for me. But I do recall seeing vac hose routing some where in the free factory service manuals downloads

And why you are at get the Coolerman's wiring
 
If your brakes are in good shape and adjusted properly, then power brakes are sort of optional IMHO. 6'2 220# an amputee (right below knee plus no toes on the left) and I can easily lock up all 4 wheels with no power assist. The only vacuum device on my rig is the vacuum gauge - which helps me get better gas mileage.
