How to remove Genesis side burner & cap gas line?

Hi there - apologies in advance if there are other threads that cover this ad nauseam, I did a search and found nothing. I'm getting ready to build a grill surround island and will be removing the side shelves from my Genesis 1 S-330. This would include the right shelf, which is a burner. removing the shelf and burner should be pretty straight-forward, wondering if anyone has done this and if so, how did you cap the gas line that runs to the side-burner? Pics are of the side burner from the top & underneath, and the braided gas line running from side burner to main compartment of grill box, and then an image of aftermarket manifold (which I'm guessing sits underneath the front panel where the control knobs sit).

You really don't need to. The burner has a metal hose with a quick release. The quick release half that stays with the grill will seal. Be a good idea to test to make sure yours does with a little soapy water or blow torch;-)

so, if I understand you correctly - if I remove the quick release valve (circled in red), it should self seal? So as long as I tuck away the side transfe line running from the manifold, I should be good?

You have what looks like a 1/4" flare fitting there. You can simply buy a cap for it and that's it
to be clear, you're saying I would need to gain access to the manifold, remove the side-transfer line, and then cap the flare fitting on the manifold (circled in red)?
