Default What did I just break?

I was tightening one of the bolts under the hood for the passenger side strut and I slipped off the wrench and punched this thing and broke it. When it broke it let out a hissing noise like it was pressurized or something. Looks cheap but I don't know what the heck to ask for at the store, or what it even does.

Looks like some sorta valve. Its located right by the PCM. 95 Lt1 Trans am if that makes a difference

that is a two way check valve for your vacuum reserve bottle and HVAC selector switch. Here is the part you need

I'd be more worried about all the work involved with getting to the fans. Don't you have to take off the bumper and a fender? lol
