Sorry I didn't fully explain...when the engine gets a load of oil from the IC, removal of the glow plugs and use of a Shop Vac to drain the piston bowls of oil is as follows:

Get some small vacuum hose, smaller than the diameter of the GPs. Cut 4 lengths about 2 feet long. Run these to a length of PVC pipe which will fit the vacuum cleaner's nozzle. Drill holes in the PVC for all 4 hoses and then cap the open end of the PVC pipe. Now with the vac running, all 4 cylinders can be vacuumed clean at the same time. Oil and junk will take a while to settle and each tube will have to be pushed until it reaches the piston bowl.

Use clear hose, it makes the oil removal progress visible.
Making the manifold sounds more time consuming than just doing them one at a time. It's a good idea though.
