Use your imagination. Where it would T to /from the heater or to/from the TB, just don't.

How necessary are the two hoses that connect to the back of the intake manifold, near the firewall?

Hoses 14056+C14056+Don biosehnsucht's first link

I got rid of the throttle body circulation but these two seem like they could be removed for the same reason, unless they help cold start issues substantially.

The car would run without them, they're used to help warm up the intake manifold (similar to the hoses for the TB). It probably wouldn't have much effect to remove them in a warmer climate, but if you were say in Canada then you might be better leaving them. When the air coming in is too cold, the fuel won't atomize properly.
