No, no issues with the vacuum lines. You have less room to work on that side to install the new port fitting but I was just able to move things out of the way enough to get it all installed.
Desert Turtle doesn't have an IG page per say but I do post up stuff I am working on it and my other...
Here's a couple pics for ya
45* hose (before adding clamps). I just cut down each leg to get the right fit
Here is the bracket I made to raise the return line and still had to tweak it a little around that one port on the crossover.
