In the diagram it looks like the boosted check valve is in the head cover and the removable hose maybe a secondary check valve??
Vacuum pump would be awesome but I've also read that there's only so much vacuum (their measurements were in inches when I was reading it) you should ever pull on the crankcase...not more, not less...this is why I wouldn't know how much is good enough and not too much...hmmm, what would be test best setup for this part of it I wonder...

You're right about the diagram...marconi seems to indicate that its possible to get to the intake manifold checkvalve without taking the valve cover off...i'll check that Saturday when I actually get to work on it a bit..
