I suspect you are talkiing about a black plastic vacuum line , about 1./2
inch outside diameter.
one end is connected to the middle part of the intake manifold
system........the other end goes all the way forward to the Vaccum Brake
Booster above the pedals in front.
just cap off the T to the gizmo and you'll be done with that part, or at
least functional without the gizmo being there.
Unless I have a future planned use, I don't like things that don't have a
function on the engine or van.
