Default Yellow vacume line?

new 77 vette owner, I was poking around under the hood and found what appears to be a pluged vacume line. its really small, at first I thought it was a cut wire. after looking real close it had a pin stuck into the end. Its yellow and is near the alarm hood switch.

I can get a picture after work today if it will help.

There are 3 that go in and out of the big gromet just to the pass side of the distributor. 1 goes to the flapper in front of the pass side window for the outside air mix, 1 to the manifold for vac source to the heat/AC controls, and the other one.......Ummmm......Ahhh, Heater shutoff valve

edit, found my pic
This is for 81 but I think its the same

Ill check that diagram out and see if it matches one of those.

The size of the line is really small, put it this way its plugged with a straight pin.
