Default CAI Install on HX (HELP PLEASE!!)

Alrighty... i'm in the final stages of installing my crappy e-gay CAI. But i've run into a problem. Here it is:

The breather hose coming out of the Valve Cover is hooked up to like 3 other hoses. All connect to different things but meet up in the middle to connect to the Intake. Ones coming from the bottom of the throttle body. The other from the intake manifold. And the one from the Valve Cover. What I want to know is what can I do to make this work? The stock part doesnt fit on the CAI. WIth that out of the place... the sensors dont plug in either. What can I do!?!?

1. You can just loop the cable from the IM back to the IM and skip the coolant route to the TB and the IACV.

or

2. Get more hoses and replace the metal piece and other hoses with the longer ones.

those 2 seperate tubes... do they intermix? If not why are they welded together? Can I just plug off the tube that connects the Intake to the Valve and just use the tube that came with the CAI to hook up to the Valve?
