Default LY6 Truck to LS3 intake swap ?--need the LS3 valley cover?

I posted this on my build page, but no response yet, hoping for answer here.
https://ls1tech.com/forums/16055221-post93.html

The LS3 valley cover has some sort of vacuum port (pic in link above) that my stock truck valley cover doesn't have. Do I need to use the LS3 valley cover? What have others done?

Thx!

SLP has the LS3 valley covers for about $16 plus shipping. Left overs from supercharger swaps

I have an ly6 with ls3 intake, and I used my valley cover from the ly6. Im not sure what that port is in that pic from the link. You do not need the ls3 cover.
