Vacuum reroute after removing airbox

Can some post a schematic or something so I can see how to reroute my vacuum lines now that I've removed my airbox for the snorkel. I put my filter on top. I ran the vacuum off the top of the valve cover to the brake booster and seems to be working but I want to make sure. As for the other lines the guy before me capped a bunch of them off so I want to switch it back. Thanks

just tap them all back into your snorkel and you should be fine.

as long as u have sufficient vacuum at idle and the car doesn't ramp (rpm's go up and down at idle or get a surge of power on the freeway) then you should be fine. just cap them off.
