Intake Manifold Help

I'm installing an Edelbrock Performer TBI Intake Manifold..and everything is installing fine except when Installed the throttle body. the fuel lines connected ok but i do not have any room to install the fitting that is right next to the egr vave. Could I plug this or do I need it ? It looks like a 90 degree fitting.......if I do plug this could I get vacuum off something else?

I think the fitting you're referring to is the vacuum fitting that ultimately connects to your HVAC controls. On the stock 92 TBI intake I'm looking at in front of me I notice it's a VERY tall fitting for the simple job it does. Would a shorter screw-in vacuum fitting, or possibly one with a straight-up (non-90-degree) nipple help you get the clrearance you need?

I went to lowes and I found a smaller fitting...installed it but I'm still hitting the fuel line..... I really dont want to bend the lines anymore cause I dont want to kink them. I see a throttle body spacer might give me the clearence I need
