You should pull the hoses off the back of the knuckle and put caps on the fitting ,then follow the hoses up to the vac solenoid and take them off and cap the ports.
Take the hoses out.

i took it all out and just put some plugs in its place with some pipe sealer on them. before i replaced mine to warn hubs one of the lines snapped off in the winter time and got snow and water in it thus causing the inside of the spindle to rust a little, so i didnt want to take that chance again. i took all the plumbing vacuume hose out untill it conects to a T next to the battery and vacuume resivor and just plugged that too.
