How would you set up vac/feed on this shape?

I've come to infuse a part with a shape that's not as straightforward as the rectangular parts I've made so far - looking for suggestions on how to set up (It's pretty flat,  this is the view from top)
was thinking of feeding from the right side, and pulling vacuum from the upper 2/3's on the left... Or am I better off center feeding the resin?

I used a spiral feed pipe for my infusions and it is easy to join two or more lengths. It is reasonably cheap to buy.
