Default Vacuum line question

I have a 98 Vette that I just removed a Procharger from. There was a vacuum line going from the passenger side valve cover to the side of the air filter box. From what I can see this vacuum line looks like it normally goes to the side of the throttle body(my TB is currently capped). Is this correct? Can I just reconnect it to the TB?

You are correct on both accounts, that is the fresh air intake for the crankcase. I remember seeing your car at the Hoffman Estates cruise night one time......time for a new motor?

Thanks for the help, I got her all buttoned up this morning. I got tired of trying to figure out a boost leak and I haven't had the cash to pay someone to fix it for me so I finally pulled the blower off. I am having it retuned on Friday and getting it dialed it without the blower.
