It connects behind the intake and the other end plugs into a line that goes inside to operate the heat/ac vent doors,,, I think.

Yep, that's what it's for. Just take it out, you don't need it.

Just cough up the $8 for an assorted vacuum plug kit. Youll need several before the build is done

On a car intake (LS1) it's a nipple you can put a cap on, if you're using a truck manifold it's a hole. Just leaving the purge solenoid in it with no power hooked to it will block it off.
