If you don't mind the looks then just cut the pipes where they come out of the fittings and weld round the top to blank them off.
The ECU won't care as long as you leave the solenoid connected.
It won't care if it's unplugged either but you will have a fault code reported.

I had thought about the plugs being reluctant to come out of the manifold and considered cutting them off short and blanking the pipes off

*if* you can get the pipes out of the manifold then yes you should be able to remove them. Blanking plugs exist off the shelf. I don't know if the standard ecu will either notice or care. I've a feeling I had no issue when I briefly used the ford ecu.

    When this is removed will it be possible just to blank off the
    connections on the manifold or will a different manifold be a
    better option?

    The box at the back is an emissions system.

        I don't know what year  it is from, all I know for now is the
        cam cover is marked DOHC 16V, so its a series 1 zetec, it has
        another pump mounted high at the front of the engine, power
        steering perhaps, and 6 pulleys for the belt to run
        around, also at the rear is a unit that is connected to each
        branch of the exhaust manifold, I'll be spliting the engine
        and box and removing the "extras" hopefully over the weekend.
