That hose connects back to a vent port on the valve cover.

Yep. Should connect to the front nipple on the passenger side valve cover.

I don't know that I would trust your zip ties to hold up to under hood temperatures, better to use the right tool for the job with some metal hose clamps...

That port is the fresh air supply from upstream of the throttle blade.

[ if that nylon ziptie ever did melt, then there would be other more serious problems (all the other plastic components you see in the engine bay) ]

Not to sidetrack, but what method are you using for the accelerator cable? Mine is busted up, and I was considering doing something like this...
