Disconnected Line, Please Help Identify

Car is a 1987 GXL I am attempting to rescue.

I found a vacuum line today that is not connected (looking for a dropped bolt). After going through the S4 and S5 manuals, and whatever pictures I could find on line, I am pretty sure I know where it goes, but not sure why it is disconnected.

Attached picture shows the line, as well as where I think it attaches. Look just above and to the left of the orange connector. I think this is the EGR valve (70% sure). I think the line goes down to a solenoid valve, but cannot confirm.

So. Will someone please confirm this is EGR, and, if not, please tell me what it is?
And, if there is a reason to disconnect it (I think it causes a vacuum leak when EGR is activated), I would like to understand that as well.

Thanks





Connection is just above and just to left of orange connector.

EGR and should go to that pipe to the right.

Thanks,

It amazes me the quantity of "Scthuff" under the UMI. Welcome back to the 1980's.

Again, thanks.
