That's the optispark vent (feed). Without it connected, there is no vacuum to pull air through the opti to vacate the created ozone gas. You also will have a small (probably unnoticeable) vacuum leak. It connects to the intake elbow.
Essentially you just have a non-vented opti.
EDIT: Correction - without it connected you just have a small vacuum leak. Atmospheric air will still be pulled through the opti as long as the other side is connected.

I drilled a small hole in the Fernco just prior to the throttle body and installed it there. I would hook it up. With it hooked up you're sending MAF-metered filtered air through the optispark. While it may not be a big deal to siphon non-filtered air, you want to give the opti the best chance of survival, given its track record.
