My A race is a 65 mile rough single track MTB course followed by a 45 mile even rougher trail run. I started creating an off road triathlon plan in plan builder and basically zeroed out the swim portion but the plan still creates swim workouts. Any recommendations on how to adjust any of the other plans or should I just upload my runs and let the system adapt to the added workload? MTB Marathon plan is most likely where I will go.

Welcome back
The cross country marathon plan is pretty solid but you’ll need to find double days to weave in 3-4hrs of easy running. Or maybe alternate weeks where the vo2 max bike become a hard run day.
Otherwise the full distance tri plan balances bike and run with a focus on endurance.

Since we don’t have any duathlon plans at the moment, picking a triathlon plan and ignoring the swim workouts may be the best way to go.
Otherwise, pairing up the MTB Marathon plan with your own runs could work as well. As @JoeX mentioned, you’d have to weave the runs into your plan yourself.
In either case, Red Light/Green Light will be able to analyze your training load and help keep you on track.
