So here is a picture of my 77...
They are temp sensor vacuum switches, which were still available from Motorcraft a few years ago.
One controls the preheat stove door for warm air into the air cleaner
The other controls air to the air injection valve from the smog pump.
This is for the 49 state, non CA, smog equipment.
The 3rd hole may be for an electrical sensor, (two wires) that I saw on a 50 state smog equipped Bronco, but it was disconnected.
I have seen some Broncos with the 3rd hole plugged with a rubber grommet painted to match (hint, hint)
