I want to move my equipment about 24 inches to clear a path for storing my grill. Straight back toward the electrical junction with no heater involved, same pad only cutting 12 inches of the plumbing side. The current configuration/design has no issues, the only change being made is a to all six that are to be extended 24 inches before the stub up to the valves. Considering I need to sever the main drain suction line prior to the valve what is the correct procedure to keep thousands of gallons of water at bay? Is it as simple as snorkeling down to put a bladder in the drain opening and a glued cap at the cut location while work is done? thanks

Post up photos of your pool equipment from different angles. You might want to check the spelling of your location.
Is your pool equipment below water level in the pool? If not there is no reason to fear the water draining.
The pool equipment is above the waterline but buried line in need to cut I'm guessing is a foot below

I had to do something like you describe. I dove down with mask on and removed suction cover and put in a suitable rubber plug.
