Working on a 54 Chevy 235 with a 1960 235 engine

On my fuel pump there are two vacuum outlets, one for the wipers and one that goes to the intake manifold port below the carburetor.

Question: is the line that goes from the Fuel Pump to the intake manifold port below the carburetor vital to the engine operating ? Can the line be plugged off at the manifold ? I have an electric wiper.

I am finding it a challenge finding a replacement Fuel Pump with the two vacuum outlets. See image below. I can get a single stage Fuel Pump that has no vacuum outlets.
