im guessing its also safe to remove this wire. i believe it goes down the the passenger side abs wheels sensor, since i already removed the main harness from the abs block, the wire inside the loom is also a twisted green/brown wire, and its now connected to nothing.

that vac line goes to the map sensor, then back into the hvac switch, the t fitting is needed if you want those two to still work properly, man I sound like the dyson vaccum *****

That vacuum line that runs out of the manifold right beside the MAP sensor CAN be removed without effecting the MAP sensor itself. You can remove it all together if you have removed the A/C and AIR. The T-fitting tossed a little vacuum to the a/c shutter and a piece of the AIR system.

That's just the vacuum canister. It helps open/close the a/c vent doors. You can chunk it too.
