vacuum line question...

so i got a new downpipe which is different from the factory one in the sense that it has no pipe coming out to hook up a hose to. i also got a new manifold so i had to take out the recirc valve (EAI conrtol valve) which has one line from the downpipe and the other to the intake and has one vacuum line (located on side of valve cover). i am also running a manual boost controller so i have a few vacuum line issues.

first: can i take out my manual boost control celanoid and completly unplug it without causing any issues? its just sitting there since the lines from it now run to the aftermarket boost controller.

second: can i take out my EAI control celanoid because there are no lines that will run to it anymore due to the aftermarket boost controller/ front mount intercooler/ removal of the EAI control valve. i know it plugs into a sensor of some sort so will unpluggin it cause any issues?

here is a diagram to understand the vacuum lines on the stock motor.

and finally,
where do i connect this "t" to? or do i just block it off?

also i found this on heavy throttle:

The vacuum lines are simple: 3 lines start at the throttle body. The bottom one goes to the canister, block it off unless you are using the canister. The larger one on top runs to the bypass valve (BOV), there should be no tee's or branches - go directly to the BOV. The smaller top line splits to the fuel pressure regulator, and runs across the front of the engine to your boost gauge and/or the boost pressure port on your boost controller.

my only concern is the last part about "The smaller top line splits to the fuel pressure regulator, and runs across the front of the engine to your boost gauge and/or the boost pressure port on your boost controller"

so do i tee that line into the line that runs from my cold air intake to my boost controller?

so what do you do with the vacuum lines going to the factory parts after boosting?

will they still work properly seeing boost instead of vacuum?
