Default Any need for vacuum lines on intake with no HVAC?

I removed my HVAC system, so do I need the small rubber lines on the back of the intake anymore? Thanks!

Where do these run to the PVC system at?

I am not talking about the larger lines behind the intake, I'm talking about the small one that connects to the intake under the MAP sensor and the line to the brakes. This line runs to the 3 way connector by the PCM and up to a small block on the intake.

The pcv on the 98 is at the front of the intake. He is refering to the little plastic line on the back of the intake by the map sensor and brake booster hose. If it only controls HVAC, ditch it!

Heating Ventilation (maybe Venting) And Cooling

This is the heater, A/C, and all the duct work and air pump behind the dash.
