Sorry, but I do not understand. What do you mean by "the manifold acts as a hub for the output wires"? The solenoid wires go directly from the PCM (previously the pneumatic breakout) to the solenoid, with no side trips. The only time you would legally* have use of a "hub" is if you are switching multiple solenoids from a spike relay module, which you did not mention.

*Usual caveat about rules subject to change next year
