Default Removed AIR system, what to use to plug the vacuum line?

Hey guys I just removed my AIR system cause it pissed me while I was putting in my new headers, One question though do I need to plug that vacuum line that came out of it, if so what did you guys use a screw or some sort of plastic fitting?

What vacuum line? When I took my air pump out I left everything attached to it and just unplugged the harness - did I do something wrong?

I didn't unplug any vacuum lines from the engine - when I took the big *** hose out all the way to the pump I then just unplugged the pump and pulled out the whole bracket and everything attached.

Hope I didn't screw something up!

I believe the part he's talking about is on '00 or '01 and up cars.

yeah on my car there was what I call a vacuum cluster right at the back of the intake manifold close to the drivers side spark pack. There are a couple other lines plugged into it but there was one that hooked into the air system as the big tubes also went to some sort of pipe junction that the vacuum line plugged into.

I used the bolt from the rear of the Pass. side coil packs, niec place to keep if I ever need the damn thing again. Once you take that puppy off no sense in putting it back on!
