i only had the one for the turbo, and 4 on the intake manifold, one for the brake booster, the heater coor vsv, fuel pressure reglator and bov. All my vsv's that sat under the intake manifold were removed along with all the metal hardpipe that ran down there, egr was removed, charcoal cansiter was removed and the idle up valve on the power steering was also removed.
first off, you dont want to just "cap off" hoses. it looks rushed.
do it cleanly, remove what you dont need... but do some research on what you dont need before just removing whatever you want.
here's a link to every vacuum hose in the engine bay and what it does.

study that, and from that, and reading info here, you can figure out what you dont need. then, you can properly begin removal and replacement.
all you really need to make the vehicle function is a line for the BOV, brake booster, and fuel pressure regulator.

that, sir. is basic automotive knowledge.
do NOT do any work to your car for a while.
spend some time in front of the computer, talking to mechanics with the basic intention of gaining some basic background of knowledge.
the brake booster is the big round thing that the brake master cylinder bolts to.
and to your other thread, if you have to ask, it's too hard.
the intake manifold comes off quite easily. but i suggest you spend a little time reading, and gathering knowledge before doing such a thing. read into the vacuum situation, and since you're going to remove the charcoal canister, that's almost all of the vacuum lines on that side of the engine.
now, in the meantime studying on how to remove the charcoal canister and egr, you can look at the link i posted earlier, and figure out how much hose to order. once you order your hose, buy some egr block off plates ( www.suprasport.com , www.jblmk3.com are two sites that sell the plates ), and finally purchase an intake manifold gasket set. then figure out how to successfully route the vacuum hoses.
once the knowledge and supplies are there to tackle the job, enjoy.
this engine bay can only be improved upon, so good luck.
just be smart about it. dont dive into anything before gaining previous knowledge about said project.

You have more patience then i do. After he asked what the brake booster was i would have been done.

thats why i didnt even bother to come up with a response for the question in the first place.
here is what i have to say regarding something like "vacuum hose reduction"
once you understand how the components of the engine work, you will then automatically be aware of what you need, and what you dont need.
