I did that on this truck. Here's a shot of the "dual-function reservoir" with a red cap on the unused port.

I think that came off the new fuel filter I bought, but you can use any rubber vacuum cap. It's not very important because (if the mechanism is working right) no fuel will ever flow out of either of the unused ports. I just did that to keep dust out.

Make sure you route the remaining tank through the top fittings on the dual function reservoir. Because of the known problems with this valve, it is safer to do this. If the valve sticks at all when using the rear tank, fuel could be routed through the return line for the rear tank. The Front tank is the normaly most heavily used and the front tank position of the reservoir is the best seated. I did this mod on a 87 with dual tanks after removing the front tank because of rust. I routed the rear tank to the front tank ports on the reservoir.
