Default Sensor on driverside of intake??

Doing a LS6 swap, and i cant remember what the sensor is at the rear drivers side intake goes to? Its mount way back on the intake and has one electrical plug and 2 vaccum lines one going to it and maybe one going to the AIR valve. I forgot to hook it up. Is it important?

I think we are on the wrong page. But not sure. Im thinking its for AIR, on my last car i just put a screw in the vaccum line coming from the rear of the intake. This time when i swapped to a LS6 i just capped the vaccum at the rear of the intake. NOT the HVAC port. The map is at the very rear of the intake and pops into the "t" fitting and plug is connected.

The AIR solenoid isn't connected directly to the intake, more like bolted on the side of it. But it is not important. You will throw a light if you don't have the system tuned out though. I removed mine all the way to the T off the manifold and used that as a source for my vacuum modulator and boost gauge.
