hi lads as the title says, I am on a boiler swap at the moment just wanted to make sure that I do it right.

The air brick from outside is open but from now beide the toilet it’s blocked can I ignore it and install the boiler as normal?

See pictures below

Air brick needs to come out or as town says as it's still connected to the void eg cavity

Also why the ptfe on the threads of compression fittings ?

Flue looks a bit short but it maybe the angle

Looks like maybe the old boiler flue going off the dirty marks etc?

Old install not mine :) just wanted to show you what boiler is there and if I could install the boiler back in this location due to the fact of the blocked air brick
 
Thank you to all for the input. I just finished the install and did what you guys have suggested
