Question what vacuum lines can i remove

I have a 86gt that has motor work done, been tuned and i was wondering what vacuum lines I can detach without creating problems. I know that everything like the pcv valve and the main line that goes to the vacuum tree needs to stay other than what small line goes to the a/c system. All the original lines are still in the car, emissions and whatnot, no air pump, a/c has been deleted but found a broken line that is attached to the thermactor air diverter and bypass. I figure that since it isn't critical to have this portion of the vacuum system in the car i can just detach this source from the bottom of the intake and cap it off. Am I right or if i take this line off is there another place its attached in the system that would be drawing vacuum from and create issues while running? To make a long story short i have had some idling issues with it getting to temp and it wants to die while sitting at a light, so i was looking to get as much vacuum line out of the system that i shouldn't need to make the car run. Cause as we all know the older the car gets the tendency rubber breaks down and plastic vacuum lines tend to break causing this kind of issues. Any info would be greatly appreciated!
