Turbo help, PLEASE

I just need to clarify the location of my vacuum lines for me DE to DET
conversion.

My I.C. piping has a bung welded to the piping going from the I.C to the
throttle body that is positioned right before the throttle body. You can see
it in this picture, it's labeled #4
http://www284.pair.com/avemp/images/IMG_2659.JPG I was planning to connect
the wastegate, BOV and my boost gauge to this location. I assume the
previous owner of the I.C. piping put it there for this reason. The hoses
that originally were in the stock intake boot between the MAF and the
throttle body will be run to a manifold I'll build that will connect to the
pipe going into the turbo compressor (It also has a bung welded onto it that
accepts a 3/4" hose. Does that all sound correct? To summarize let me see if
this is correct, 3 lines need to see boost and vacuum for sure. They are the
wastegate, BOV and my boost gauge. All the other lines that were on the
stock DE that connected to the intake boot can connect to the piping that
goes from the MAF to the compressor side of the turbo. Is that correct?

Lastly I need to know how to deal with my A.I.V. stuff. There was a small
hose that connected to the A.I.V. valve that ran via a metal tube to the
pressure regulator on the intake manifold. Now that my exhaust manifold no
longer has a spot for the A.I.V. tube to connect I'm wondering what to do
about the small hose that once connected to the A.I.V. valve? I don't want
to weld a spot onto the manifold or downpipe for this either. By the way
this car will no longer be street driven so polluting the environment isn't
an issue. Can I just plug this hose? I plan to keep the Oil separator and
locate it to a remote location.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
