What to do with this line with vented opti swap

Im in the middle of the 95+ opti swap.

On the intake manifold i know where the vacuum line is suppossed to connect. Currently it is attached to a tube which is simply a loop. It goes from the connection to another conection on the intake.

Once i put on the opti line, how do i plug, or what do i use to plug the other hole from where the original hose was attached?


Thanks!

Confusing post, but the only "looped" hose on the drivers side of a 94 intake is large diameter PCV valve connections. Don't connect anything there. Leave it alone.

There is a small nipple, with a vacuum line that goes back to the EGR solenoid. You hook the Opti vent line - the one with the blue/white discs in it - to that connection. If you still have EGR, you just put a plastic "tee" on the fitting, so you can connect both the Opti and the EGR solenoid vacuum signal.Here's apic of how I did it:

Fred-
Sorry it was confusing, some what hard for me to explain.

Using your picture, the line i was talking about is the line under the EGR line, then it loops underneath the brake booster line.

I was using this picture from shoe's site.

I assume since our 94 PCV valve "loops", that we do not have the intake manifold port under the TB?


My EGR is no longer, so ill just use its connection. Thank you for that idea.
