Vac. / Hyd. Trailer Brakes

Hey all, my truck came with vacuum over Hyd brakes hookups for a trailer. This mess includes a vacuum module plumbed into my master cylinder, feeding two rather large hose's into the bed of truck. Spider web of wires, circuits and other lil funky things which I have no use for; least ways I hope I don't. Making it nearly impossible to change fuel filter or check powersteering levels. My question, how can I properly get rid of this mess. I truly am concerned of removing a needed hose or capping off a critical port with a plug. Anybody provide me with a few suggestions tips schematic diagram links or hints I would greatly appreciate it.

Aaron

The only thing I can suggest is take it to a dealer or get your hands on a shop manual. Unless you know someone very familiar with a 99 or campare it to the same truck sitting next to yours. It should not be that difficult once you get the right information. Good luck.
