Place the vacuum line around the perimeter and let the flow media end about 2cm/1inch before the fibers end. If you work with MTI hose you can place it direct where the fabrics end. If you use another evacuation media make a peeply brake zone of about 10cm between part and evacuation hose. If you don't want print from the feedline make a flying feedline, means wrapped in flow media and placed above the part in the bagging film connected with the part by flow media.(you can buy the ready, I don't know if easy composites has that)

Again use peel ply as a resin break that way hardly any resin enters vaccum side,as long as your not in a rush use a harderner with a working time of 2 to 3 hours demoulding is around 3 days depending on working temperature good luck.
