I yanked all the pipes off, and taped up all connectors.
The tubes can be left alone though, you dont have to cap them.

You can loose both valves and all the plumbing. Before headers, I cut the air tree off the manifold and mig welded the holes.
I cut the vacuum line and ran a single from plenum to fuel reg.
