Default do i have a vacuum leak?

i started to delete AIR system during header install but didn't finish.

right now i have the hoses on either side of the engine just blowing air into the engine bay. so do i have a vacuum leak right now?

and when i remove them from behind the intake does anyone one know what size vacuum cap i need to plug it?

do you have a 98?

no tutorials i've found address it but ppl post and say it's there. some ppl use vacuum caps and others just screws to plug it up.

vacuum cap for the nipple on the back of the intake. kind of a b!tch to get to but has to be done or you will have a vacuum leak

do you know what size i need?

and do i have a vacuum leak as i have it now? with just the hoses dumping into the engine bay? my car feels really sluggish but i think its mostly due to a leaky header gasket

dont remember the exact size on the plug. well the hoses is just dumping air frm the AIR pump. may be a vacuum leak considering open hoses and still a vacuum line connected to the back of the intake though. not entirely sure

but yes an exhaust leak could cause the car to be sluggish
