CAD delete - what to do with vac/elec lines?

I am 99% finished my EMS offroad hub conversion + CAD delete install.

I'm looking for suggestions on what to do with the vacuum and electric lines to the CAD unit, once it is removed (which it has been). They are currently isolated in ziploc brand ziploc bags. The vacuum line to the transfer case has been removed from the vacuum system and sealed (the "tee" to the t-case taken out and the rest of the lines adjusted, the "tee" caped with one line leading off of it). Should I just clean it up and ziptie them to something, then wait for them to corrode into useless connectors/fill with crude, or terminate some distance back & clean up the mecanical systems of the truck?

I would just get rid of everything, There should be some steel lines bolted to the frame, remove those, just tie the wires up somewhere and remove all the vacuum lines all the way back to the X-fer case and then cap the vacuum supply line up near the firewall.

I may be wron but I belive I read that one guy just took out the fork that ingages the four wheel drive and left the whole unit there. That way light still comes on when in four wheel drive. I May be wrong as I have not done this myself.
