im working on buttoning up my hci swap, and i need some help with vacuum lines

ive deleted the egr and smog pump, so the rubber connector over by the throttle body coming out of the passenger fender apron has 4 vac hoses coming out of it, one went to the egr valve so im going to cap that, then two more went to the smog pump valves, so i can cap those. i know which two those are. i think the 4th one runs to the back of the intake manifold. does that feed the other 3?

when i put my explorer manifold on it didnt have all the different fittings for vacuum, and i remember looking it up. i have the front one going to the pcv valve like factory, the other one in the front goes to the charcoal canister. then the back ones i have one going to the tree by the booster, then the other small one goes to the fuel pressure regulator. im pretty sure everything else is capped off, so do i need to y off one of those vac lines to feed the vac line that goes to the passenger fender apron? can i y it off the fuel pressure regulator?

does the manifold vac line that runs the passenger side feed the smog diverter valves and egr ? if thats the case i dont need it then right?

what am i missing?

the one that has the 90 degree bend in it above the fpr vac line is what im talking about

The FPR has a dedicated vacuum line for a good reason. Changes in the vacuum make for odd changes in the fuel pressure. Using the FPR vacuum line to work anything else is asking for trouble.

There is another vacuum line that goes into the passenger side fender that's for the hvac. You want to keep this one. It runs through the check valve that you see in Jrichkers diagram.
