How to eliminate hoses from air box

I've upgraded my intakes and now i want to clean up the setup.
Ok i'm not concerned with the larger hoses (intake air to turbos)

I want to eliminate the following:
- hose to the air pump
- hose to the Intake manifold

they are currently running to my intakes but i want to block off, re-route instead of going into my intakes.

can i route the one from the intake manifold and combine it with the air pump one?

REASON: hks intake arm #2 (from secondary turbo) sends the intake out too far, i'd like to replace it with a short one, but the kit requires it to be connected to the air pump or the UIM
hks intake arm #1 (below air pump, primary turbo) fits no problems and nicely fit

just get the greddy pulley kit and block off plates kit from the rx-7store. You don't have to use all of the plates. Or if you are tallented make your own. The best air pump removal pulley kit that I have seen is the one from unothodox (spelling?), but is not as good priced as the greddy ones.

Be aware that you will need the air pump in place and functional to pass smog.
