Default Which vacuum lines need check valve to avoid boosting?

Getting ready to deal with all my vacuum lines and wanted to know which lines should not see boost and which check valve should I use?

So far the ones I can think of are the vacuum modulator for my th350 (still auto valve body) and the vacuum lines that control my a/c (fox body mustang).

Are there any other lines that will need to have a check valve to avoid boost? Also, which check valve is everyone using?

the line between the manifold and valley cover? I used a simple PCV from Advance Auto, that had no spring, so it would shut and open very very easy.

Also, im not sure a check valve is the right answer for the TH350, they make a vacuum/boost deal for that, i have one here that used on my vacuum modded 4l60e that i wont be using. I think i paid like 30 bucks for it from transgo. IIRC.

I would think the ones that need a constant vaccum would just be re routed to the blower inlet pipe, no boost there...
