homemadeturbo.com (http://www.homemadeturbo.com/) is your answer. YOu have a lot of learning to do before you can even start on that project.
If you are going to stay with carb, you may want to figure out which setup you are going with. Suck through (carb before turbo) or blow through (carb after turbo).
as for the oil lines. one line will be high pressure, it is connected form the back on the engine where oil filter is. the other line is low pressure and it will be connected to the oil pan to drain the oil.
just start reading and website and do some search on this site. we have all your questions answered million times already.

not alot of carbs car can handle the turbo...you would need a fuel injection car to get more tune out of it with a OBD1 swap....pick up the turbo at the junkyard if it has no play....most of them you might have to rebuild...so save up the money and get your self a new one if you like.
