It has to be that 11/16's size, it will leak if it is not the right size. Move it as far away from the engine as you can, and closer to cooler air, IMHO

You can relocate it to your airbox where your AIR pump supply hose goes.

True, or if you have a Blackwing air filter, the 1997-2000 C5s can relocate to the flow gauge hole in the Blackwing. I've read that Lingenfelter does that.

It intakes air for the AIR pump. I believe AIR stands for Air Injection Reactor, and the purpose is to inject air into the exhaust manifolds upon startup to allow the cats to warm up faster and reduce startup emissions. You can usually hear it cycling on and off for a few minutes when you start the car up cold.
