I put in a weber carb 32/36 last week on my 87 ram 50 2.0 and Im removing the extra vacuum lines. What lines need to stay other than the vacuum advance, brake booster, and pcv valve i dont have ac at this time? also what is the purpose of the to tank line on the vacuum canister it is currently disconnected?

the line to the charcoal canister is just a vent. As long as you have the electric fuel pump @ 3 psi you are good to go. You covered the basics.

Can you post a picture of the vacuum lines? I don't know what each one goes too and I tried to label them as best as I could, but it is still intimidating.

Well I don't have a picture. But the only ones you need to worry about is the PCV line. About a 1/4 inch line. It goes from the manifold to the top of the valve cover. Then the breather line goes from the air cleaner to the valve cover. about a 1/2 inch line. The brake booster to manifold. And the distributor to the one line on the carb. That's it. Everything else can go by by.
