Unknown vacuum line

Sounds great, good luck and I hope everything works out well for you with it there!
 
I wonder if there is a purpose for this hose that has nothing to do with how the car was made... We've all had problems that we solved with some ingenuity. I think that I would at least leave it in place until you can find out where it goes on the inside. I'll make a wild guess - behind and above that sheet metal is the tray that is below the louvers between the windshield and the hood. Sometimes they get plugged with debris and may even rot out and leak into the car on the inside. If a former owner made a fix, they might have put a drain in to keep water from collecting and this is the drain end of that hose. Like I said, wild guess...

Great thoughts but in my case it looks like someone just stuck a piece of hose on what appears to be a rubber stud from inside the car. If you look at page 1 of this post near the bottom I posted an after photo; once I removed the hose.
Thank you
 
It’s hard to say what the purpose was, maybe they were working around the stud and got tired of getting scratched by it, maybe they had a smog motor in at one time and ran one of the ever troublesome vacuum amplifier/OSAC lines to it to plug it off... anyone else remember all this fun stuff I am talking about?
