Engine Wiring

Been a on the forum for a while this is my actual first post! Little info I have a 1984 K30 SRW with a SB 350, turbo 400 trans and a 205 transfer case. Dana 60 up front and 14 bolt upfront. The original motor crapped out so I am in the process of putting in a crate 350 in it. Which leads me to my question the original manifold had some vacuum lines connected to it to a thing called a Speed switch valve. What is that and what does it do? That valve sent 2 wires to what the wiring schematics are calling Speed SW which I am assuming is switch? What is this and how can I remove it because I am putting Hooker headers on it and there is no option for this setup and I would rather not have random wires in my engine bay. I am attaching photos of the setup thank you so much for the info.

"The purpose of the throttle return control system is to prevent an over rich condition during periods of deceleration. This is accomplished by keeping the throttle plate slightly open during deceleration, which helps maintain the air/fuel ratio at optimum efficiency. The Throttle Return Control (TRC) system consists of a throttle lever actuator, a solenoid vacuum control valve, and an engine speed switch."
