When I deleted the ecm last summer, the hoses circled in the picture were left unplugged and tucked away.
The engine seems to be running fine. I have a very mild Comp cam. I called Comp and asked how much vacuum I should be getting at idle. I'm getting 17 inches and that's what the Comp tech said I should be getting.
The brakes work fine and the headlights are a tad slow, but not bad.
The hoses all appear to go to the charcoal cannister. The thought just crossed my mind (what little I have) that these unplugged hoses might be a vacuum leak??
Am I just overthinking, or should I plug them?
Those all look like the control system for the evap canister, If you can put your finger over them while it's running and don't feel any vacuum or notice a change in the idle, tuck them away. Or make them go away. You might notice a fuel smell around the car, There is a line from the tank to the canister for vapor recovery.
Why did you disconnect the EVAP system? It has ZERO effect on performance but a good purpose. That purpose is to allow a sealed fuel system (no vented gas cap) where the vapors accumulate in the charcoal of a canister and are then drawn into the intake manifold (via the PCV system) to be burned.

I don't have the air cleaner that one hose went to and another hose went to the top of the qjet carb (overflow?) that i don't have (edelbrock now) the other two hoses were on the thermo housing that I no longer have.
Where would I connect them currently?
Hose from tank to cannister is still connected. I don't have any residual gas odor
Do I need to plug these?
