Another question, acoording to the vacuum connection layout. this connector just going to the fire wall for fresh air, could it be eliminated?

The big connector is for the brake booster, none of those vacuum lines on the intake go to the firewall for "fresh air" I think that one goes to the EGR solenoid, there are 2 on the throttle body that go to the trunk wall for the evap system, and cruise control, all others are for the fuel pressure regulator, map sensor, EGR system, etc.

This one routes underneath the upper intake and around past the MAP sensor and goes into a dual rubber connector. It briefly converts to a rubber hose that connects to the hard metal lines on the trunk wall that route over to the EVAP canister.

Thanks for replying, could you please elaborate a little regarding the role with the brake booster? is it a vacuum? etc.

That is the vacuum source for the brake booster. connects via a rubber house to the firewall hard line.

Your first photo is the vacuum port for the brake booster line as jelly2m8 said. Your second photo is the vacuum port for the fuel canister line as fierofool said.
I edited the GM vacuum diagram as a complete drawing.....
