Default quick vac hose question

Well, I took the intake off to replace the oil press sensor and now im putting it back on. Except there are 2 vac hoses and only one fitting on the intake. Where did the other one come from!!!!! The hard type straw one is the one i believe goes to the back of the manifold, but where does the floppy rubber one connect?? It runs under the battey and into the cab? AC maybe??? but i cant figure it where is goes!! does anyone know!! thanks alot

There are two hoses back there. The large one goes to the brake booster. The other smaller one, a right hand fitting if I'm not mistaken, goes to a small tube that sticks out of the back of the manifold under the MAP sensor. That tube is the vacuum actuator for the A/C vents.

yes, very correct. However, the third (floppy one) is the one im concerned with. I started the engine and it dosent pull vac though, so thats good. but i know it plugs onto something.
