AN fittings are hard, mmkay? 
There is officially no more frayed hose in my engine compartment. Unfortunately I was too tired to think to snap a pic of the finished product.
Here's the vacuum block mounted, but not yet hooked up:
And here's the relocated fuel pressure regulator. This is a terrible picture, but when the charge pipe is in, you can see the gauge perfectly. I promise I will clean everything when I'm done. The car is so dusty from sitting.

There was no way to make it not look like spaghetti since the hoses all go different ways, but it's definitely cleaner than it was. The new bracket for the FPR is much better too, and it's much more visible now. The vacuum block is hooked up and the myriad of fittings and zip ties are officially eliminated. Now all I need is injectors and a tune and it'll be done! (for now)

Awful pic, but at least it's back together. If anyone is reading this, you're probably sick of crappy cell phone shots of my engine. It started today...finally! Runs like crap though. Pressure tested it again and managed to eliminate all of the vacuum leaks except the injector o-rings. My 30 cent o-rings are leaking...I guess I need $600 injectors. And idle valve gasket. And battery tie down. And radiator shroud (more of a want than a need). And a tune. Desperately needs a tune. Again.
Almost thereeeee...

Initially, I was going to go with ID2000s, but my friend highly recommended I buy a set of 2000cc injectors from a company called Spray It Racing that are much cheaper. My tuner swears by Injector Dynamics, and understandably so, because they make great injectors, but the ones I intend to get are just as well matched and are SIGNIFICANTLY less expensive. I'm willing to be a guinea pig in this instance because it's saving me several hundred dollars.
I have an appointment to get my car tuned on the 1st, so I'll post up my results and thoughts on these injectors once I've put them to the test.
