You can just leave them in there and cap the main tubes with a 5/8" (i think) pipe cap. I did this to mine, but it's just temporary until I get the headers on.

If you follow the lines up, they all come together before they go into a check valve. Take it off there. You will need a 1" wrench and a adj wrench. Unscrew it and put on a brass fitting. Once it fills up with pressure it will not cause any turblance. I did it to mine.

I just did this on a buick..I took the tubes out of the manifolds...trimmed them to the fittings and then welded them shut. Screwed the fittings back in like little plugs
