Hard to tell, but that's the hose going from the intake manifold to the converter?

If you have an ACV blockoff, you can just leave it dangling, or remove it, no need to cap it off.

if you leave it open would it not suck in trash/Dirt?
By the way the picture is not my motor but one to show the hose I was talking about.
And yes I do have a ACV block off plate.

it hooks up to your cats, along with the actuators for the 5th adn 6th ports. I say hook it up, its easy enough to hook up, and if u dont, your 5th and 6th ports may not work(not sure about it thou)

There is no vacuum on that hose. There couldn't be - that hose is the air pump "out" to the converters.

there is also a one way check valve in that line, so your fine. The check valve is after the 5th and 6th port acutator line as well.

Well there is a little vac on it. Atleast there is on mine.
I will see if I can get a pic of mine. The motor is in the car so I might not be able too.
