Found this
I found this line,, it comes out of the fire wall and was ran over to the passenger side fender and ran under it .. The end wasn't connected to anything.. Any ideas what it is and where it should be connected?? Thanks

Thats what it is,, it looks like mine has been replaced at some point and the old line that I found was left in there ... i guess it wouldn't hurt anything to cut the old one off back close to the firewall...

So you're saying there's a line attached to the heater hose shutoff already??? If so, the line you're showing may connect to the larger rubber vacuum hoses near the firewall by the brake booster. That may be the line not coming OUT of the firewall but going IN. To control your AC stuff. See that clump of hoses to the right in the pic..................
And mine has, from the factory, a small rubber hose with a "loop" that goes around the fitting to help keep the line connected to the valve fitting.

The line from the heater hose shutoff valve should go through the firewall more on the passenger side and it connects to a vacuum shutoff valve on top of the heater box. Going direct to those large hoses by the booster would make it always shut.
Pull the glovebox out and you'll see the vac switch. There's a cable going to that switch controlled by the Hot-Cold lever
