Default Smooth coupler install

I ordered a smooth coupler to replace the accordion one from the factory. The factory one has a vacuum line coming out of it. The smooth one does not have a fitting for a vacuum line. Should I modify the smooth one or can this line be plugged? Thanks in advance. :flag :seeya

That's what I did! Drilled a small hole and punched it through!
