Need help with vaccum lines running udner intake manifold

[vr6chris]

Ok, im removing all my emissions stuff, and trying to fix an extremely bad vaccum leak at the same time. Ok, the two vaccum lines coming from the drivers side run under the intake manifold into a couple of nipples. Im assuming it runs into 2 and then it splits into 4 correct? Well, 2 of the nipples on the other side run into vaccum lines, but two of them are completely open, im assuming this is where my vaccum leak came from . It was running at 5 inch pounds at idle. So it was pretty bad. Can I just get rid of these lines under the manifold. I already have a line from one of the top ports of the intake manifold running to vaccum sources like the bov, etc. and then on the drivers side, i have it running from a top port of the intake manifodl to the fpr and other vaccum sources, boost gauge etc. Ok so from all this rambling, if you missed it, can i get rid of the vaccum lines that run under the intake manifold, or are the nipples under the manifold somehow tapped into the manifold? anyone, thanks

Take a look at the Taboo Speed Shop vacuum diagram, it should answer all of your questions on vacuum hose routing.
