Default Running Vacuum Lines Question

I am running a front mount intercooler with my Vortech supercharger. Does it matter at all if you run non-essential (aftermarket) vacuum driven accessories from a barb on the boost pipe. Examples being boost gauge, hobbs switch, and boost recirculation valve. Does it matter that it isn't run straight to the vacume ports on the manifold. I understand some things really do matter but I'm trying to clean up the big mess of vacume lines and T connectors cluttering up my engine bay.

Thanks,
Brandon

hobbs switch should be screwed into a bung on the charge pipe, if Im not mistaken. Use the port on the back of the manifold for your gauge and use the right front port on the manifold for your recirc valve. If youre that concerned about keep **** clean, you can always get a vacuum block and run all your stuff off that.
