Replacement thermostat housing kit issue?

Hi my thermostat housing got cracked. Guess is due to wear. Going on 200k still original. I bought a entire kit to replace it and it says it will fit and is a genuine oem kit. However it is missing 2 hose connections that connect to the intake I believe. Does it not need this or what? Very confused.

First image is where the hoses are attached to. The second in the middle is where they connect to the old kit. And third image is the new kit with no hose connection. What do I do. New to this but got to start somewhere.

Ps don't mind the RTV, my buddy had a bet the leak was somewhere else and I was already replacing it so I let him go ham...I was right haha.
