You can just pull vacuum from your intake manifold. or if you also have a boost gauge, bov etc, you can just pick up a cheap vacuum block and run some nice lines. feed it all from your IM.

Definitely not ideal (using line #9). Ditch those lines (rubber/metal) from the air pump system and use the nipple on the intake manifold for vac reference.

I will be removnig as much as possible. just pluggin the air control valve for now then gonna do the complete removal with block off plate later.
