If I where to get rid of the A/C and cruise, could I get rid of the vaccum tree completely and just run the brake booster straight to the intake?

I don't see why not. The tree is only a distribution mechanism, no check valve, reservoir characteristics in it....so, sure you could. GL

That's how I have mine. You need a 15" 11/32 hose.

It's worked for me for a while. Looks much cleaner. I didn't replace the booster hose. I just extended it with a short piece of hose using a barbed connector between the hoses.
