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.

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.

How much do you want for it if I remove it for you?
