Gaines,
Nice description of the site. I like the photos of the vines. I think the vines are interesting, but do agree that they should be removed. This page http://www.nativetreesociety.org/dendro/ents_maximum_ages.htm shows some ages for vines that Bruce Allen measured in the Congaree (near the bottom of the list). I would be curious about the ages of the bigger vines you might cut. The problem may be that the rings are not always distinctive.
