that hose runs to some strange container at the front of the car under the passenger side headlight. I'm guessing it is to catch exhaust fumes that may enter the system but I am probably wrong. It may also be to remove moisture. Anyhow. If you do not have the air-pump active then this hose and container can be removed. It will lighten up the car a little and clean up the engine bay. But geting that container out is a real PITA.

The canister under the headlight is a silencer for the relief air coming from the ACV. If the ACV is gone, there's no need for it or the hose. It's easily accessed by jacking up the car and removing the brake duct underneath it. Pull off the hose, undo two nuts and you're done.
