It's the Vaccum canister which opens and closes the door from the heater core I believe!

Signguy,
I think that is what it is also. If you do unhook it, be sure to plug the hose with something like a golf tee or small screw or you will have a vacuum leak in the system.

I believe it closes the flap, inside the vent, to isolate the cabin from the core. It provides you with recirculated cabin air. Part of the A/C system.
