if you got the '98-'99 lid it did not come w\the hose kit for the air pump.
no biggie though stand it straight up at the core support and put a rain cap
slash filter on it. i used a vent from a allison truck trans on mine.
i could have tuned it out, but it's an open loop only thing that helps with the visual
on the inspection.
if you cut back the hose and suck in some water it's over for the pump. pretty common on s-10s stock.
buy the right lid,deal with the hose or have it tuned out and cap it.

If you seal off the lid just put a breather filter on the hose - available at your local parts store and zip tie it off. Just don't kink the hose restricting the air flow, it'll throw an SES light.

Its not a vacuum line. Its the intake for the AIR system. Its for emissions. Put a breather/filter on the end of the AIR hose and zip tie it somewhere. As for what breather/filter to use, I think an "open/bare"-style valve cover breather is basically the breather/filter you need there (at least that's what mine looks like).

wow thanks for the replies and pics! I get what everyone is talking about now. the reason I didnt know what to do with the hose is because it is obviously not long enough and did not come with an extension.
8a8mfh the lid i got did not come with an extension like yours so i was wondering what everyone else was doing about this or if i was missing parts to the lid.
thanks for the pics and info!
FYI VIP1 awesome paint job on the engine mods!

What are you working on? Thats not a pic of my car BTW but it's the same.
You see the joint in the hose right (in the pic) my instructions said to pull that apart and cut some off to make it shorter.
Is the hole on your lid in the same place on the lid pictured? Did your stock lid have the hose connected to it?

what i ended up doing was putting a breather on the hose like most the people did. i contacted the seller and he said he did not know it did not have the extension piece with it. so my lid had the block off which i installed. Moved the hose out of the way and put a breather on it.
my car is a 2001 SS
thanks for the help

You need to put the hose in the hole in the lid.

Of course, this does not fly too well if you're also running LTs with no cats, and EGR delete.

When you remove the AIR system, you have to plug that vacuum line with a screw. The 98-99 LS1 f-bodys don't have these two things. They only have tubes running from both exhaust manifolds to the AIR pump.
