Default Vacuum line?

I'm putting off road headers on today and I have already removed the AIR system, my question is what do I do with the vacuum line (?) that went to the top of what appears to be a distribution block thats located at the rear of the drivers side valve cover? Can I just plug it or do I not need to worry about it at all? Thanks

Carl

I just stuck that little vacuum line on a coil pack bolt. Makes it a tight fit and seems to do the job nicely.

Yea you probably wouldn't think it would be a good thing to do until you try it. It fits tight on the coil pack bolts. I haven't had a problem with it.
