You don't need to buy anything. Just pull the hose off of the TB and stick it on the metal tube. You can reuse the clamp that is already there.

you don't need vacuum caps, but you can pick up a variety size pack and find two that fit, if you want.

on my vette, the hoses on the TB are 2 different sizes (inlet and outlet) i simply found a reducer (i think i got it in the HELP secion at my local auto parts store) got 2 new lengths of hose and clamped them together with the reducer
i didn't plug the TB openings - as nothing is in there except a little bit of rust anyway - although i could have cleaned it up a bit, but it's so dirty under the hood of my car and i'm scared to clean it cuz of the opti!
