Default AIR pump vacuum line

I removed the air pump & all its lines when I did headers recently and had it programmed out. There was a small vacuum line running to the pump that I disconnected and left there, it ran up through the front of the car but don't know where it ended. Does this go to the intake somewhere and does it need to be blocked off?

It goes to a cannister with other lines in the PS fender, then to the vacuum source in the rear of the intake manifold. Yes, you need to plug the line.

Yeah figured I probably should have capped this line after I closed up that access panel up front. Car has a slight problem maintaining a steady idle at start up, I'm guessing this may be why. Thanks.
