Emissions Removal (solenoid help)

Ok, Trying to pull out the solenoids I don't need. Which ones do I have to keep, can I rip out all of the hard lines, and does anyone have some diagrams of before/after this procedure?
Any help would be appreciated. Yes I have read the archived thing about emissions removal, and I'm still a little confused. "Explain it to me like I'm 6 years old."

Phew, just finished installing my new PD. If you want pictures of the old one, just to see how little time I had left, I have plenty. The plastic and rubber was cracking open, the screw was still pretty well secured, but had it budged even the slightest bit out. WHOOSH on fire! But thats in the past. I replaced it done deal. But my dear god, Upper Intake is by far the biggest mess I have ever experienced.
I need some help planning out which solenoids to bypass, which vacuum hoses I can rid myself. And generally how to clean up the upper intake. I bypassed the coolant hosing that runs through the upper intake manifold and throttle body. It now goes straight to the rotor housing beneath the intake manifold. (did that because the nipple on the bottom of the intake manifold was all but impossible to re-hose, and generally the throttle body doesn't need to be cooled.)
Please, anyone have some decent plans and explanations on what they did?

theres a nice write up in the archive, basically you remove everything, and theres like 5 things you need to reconnect, but yes the metal spider can be tossed.
