Is the fitting on the above images marked "Block off to omit charcoal canister" a suitable vaccum source for the FPR and butterflies (instead of the one coming from the end plate?

I have my TB and end plate swapped for my FWD application, and it would be much cleaner if I were able to use this instead of running an extra hose across the engine bay.

that one is in front of the TB, the other one (running to the BOV) is a vacuum/boost source from the manifold.

I'd just do it right. Don't want to be messin around with fuel pressure.

So just use the one from the end plate (opposite the TB)? I wasn't sure exactly where that one came from (before or after throttle).

The end plate (opposite of the throttle body) should have a large fitting for the brake booster, and a smaller one that is normally T'd into the FPR and then into all the crazy butterfly ****.
