There is one line that needs to be plugged.

I followed these instructions when removing my air.

If you get a chance ,when it is running,can you put your finger over it and tell if there is a vacum,or pull it loose from the coil pack and see if it fu##cks up the idle. thanks. this is what im really looking for.!!

That is the vacuum line that needs to be plugged. I just used one of the rear coil pack bolts that I took out to plug it.

Yeah I capped that when I removed my AIR. I found a vaccum cap laying around because I didn't want that little hose around if I didn't need it.
