Back from the wilderness (hose/line question!)

I am finally back to the Golf after 3 years away (grown up parenty type stuff!!)
I have managed to get it started (with a new battery!) and it started up fairly easily. (1992 Clipper Cab with Pierburg carb).
However the idle seems very low, around 700rpm and is very lumpy. After a little investigation it seems that the lumpiness is due to a short piece of braided hose (as per the picture) that doesn't seem to connect to anything. Anyone know what it is and what it should connect to (or if it should be blanked??).
Once this is sorted is it likely to sort the idle speed or will i need to adjust it?
Thanks in advance for any answers, was hoping to get it MOT'd this or next week!!
Cheers,
Steve

Take care to cut it off the check valve as they get brittle and don't take well to manhandling.
I can't help you with where it goes as on my 90's Digifants there is only one Vac line the other is capped and the one vac line goes to the Egg Crate for the Servo's for the HVAC system.

Yes, what did we do before the interweb….Visit Libraries and check out or read manuals or other things, we bought tuner Magazines from newsstands, socially joined clubs and such or walked in to shops and watched them… We didn't have phones or pagers, and I remember using the Shop OEM manuals from BMW (British Motor Works) and Mitchell Manuals to totally disassemble a 58 Bug-eye, and because I didn't have a camera or a phone that took pictures I drew the assembly in detail, and labeled every wire and connector from where it attached to where it went. At 14 I made new wiring harnesses for the Car down to the Bayonet connectors and added new grounds…I taught myself Electronics and such with books that I bought from Radio Shack, and got my first Triplett Analog meter.
Plus I listened to my elders and watched in awe with them using Fire and Molten lead to make body repairs, and hammering metal with a sandbag prior to the application of lead with wood paddles and beeswax and using files to smooth it to rough shape and then Sanding… Bondo wasn't invented nor Epoxies….dark times….
Yep I was raised in the Dark Ages….by Cavemen… A man cave was the Garage, and Mother didn't venture out there but to Warm the occasional cup of coffee for my father and or bring us a cool drink.
