Should all vacuum pipe be connected or covered?
There was one metal vacuum pipe open (no hose or cover) when I took off the surge tank assembly. Is this how it should be? I wouldn't think so. Thanks.

There are locations that are only used for automatics transmissions.

Mine is manual, so I guess it's OK left uncovered? Also, is that picture from a shop manual? I got a copy of a shop manual that is terrible.

Thanks for the help!

If the line(s) you have uncovered are the lines for the automatics, then yes it's ok. If they aren't then no its not ok. Since I can't see your car, you'll have to verify with the diagram that the correct lines are used or unused.

That is an editted version of the vacuum diagram from the shop manual (FSM). Here is the full picture of the editted diagram:

Yes that it the one that's uncovered, thanks. I tried to post a 49k image, but it didn't work. Thanks again!
