The line is part of the crankcase breather and evaporative emissions systems, and the silcer thing on the end is a check valve. It will still work fine disconnected, you just might get a bit of oily air out of it. Leave the check valve attached or you'll have a vac leak under some conditions.

I'm doing my new TID at the moment, so I have worked out what I want to do with that line. I'm going to trace it right back to the tee in the vac rack it comes from, and run a new hose from there to the underside of the car on the left side of the engine bay, with the check valve on the end. Eventually I'll pull all this stuff out, but in the mean time this will look neater and avoid any mess.
