Default What is this and do I need it?

Starting to take things apart for my head/intake swap and noticed this plug was disconnected along with one of the vacuum lines. The line that runs to the back of my LS6 intake was still connected. The car has been running fine and has been tuned with the thing unplugged.

I'm going to Fast 102 if that matters when I put it back together. Thanks!

Yeah its for A.I.R. I removed mine and blocked off the rear port going to the back of the intake. If you have it tuned out you will be fine.. depends on what your mods are though.. it's all for emissions I believe

Perfect, thanks! Yes it's tuned out and will be tuned again after head/intake swap.
