Yes it would work, but it places the turbo farther from the exhaust manifolds, and it won't spool as quick. You're better off getting rid of the crossover pipe connecting the two manifolds and having a pipe from each manifold meet at the turbo. Then, as you said, just plug the hole where the stock downpipe was.

What does the back manifold look like on a 3400? The exhaust would essentially have to flow backwards to where the crossover pipe was, and if the manifold is shaped more like a header instead of a log, it won't flow very well.

yes i also thought of the spooling aspect since its longer distance.... im going with the other way i mentioned...

and the back looks like the front exept there is an outlet hole that the downpipe is attached to. and the two are conected to the crossover pipe.... it would be more convenient if the downpipe camoe off the crossover but it doesnt lol

also some info on running the vacuum lines and boost controler will be greatly appreciated.
