What all can i remove from the Smog equipment

I have a 89 and a 96 F250 both HDs and both 351w. I have the holes plugged in the back of the heads on them and the hoses from the smog pumps removed. What else can be taken off of there. The vac lines to the TAB and TAD selinoids are plugged. But what about the plastic things on the passenger side wheel well? I see a white vac line that goes from the EVR to the plastic thing and the green vac line that goes to the EGR valve. I want to keep the EGR operational, so should i just cap the white vac line? Or should that have constant vacuum?

The white line does need to have vacuum, that's where the vacuum comes from to operate the EGR valve when the EVP solenoid opens. I just ran a small line from the vac. tree on the engine to the EVP solenoid and kept the green EGR line, and all the other lines came off, plus it at least enables me to remove my coffee can vacuum reservoir so now I have room for my 2nd battery

As far as vacuum lines yes....the TAB and TAD solenoids still need to be there and plugged in though, or else the computer will throw codes

The selinoids are still there and electronically plugged in. I put a rubber piece of vac hose on there with a screw in it to cap them off though. Everything else is now gone except what is needed to run the EGR
