What connects to the intake manifold where the throttle body assembly mounts to the intake manifold?

There are two and I know one goes to the brake booster, but where does the other one goes to? I bought the car that way.

There is a vacuum line the goes from the valve body to the brake booster. Below are the instructions that show the line along with how to remove the intake manifold and reinstall in case you need it. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Yes, I understand that but in the front part of the intake manifold there are two connections.
I have attached a pic of the manifold. As you can see, the one on the right goes to the brake booster. I need to know what is attached to the other one.

It looks like that goes to the EVAP canister control solenoid, here is a diagram so you can see. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what happens.

Do you have any vacuum lines that are lose under the hood, maybe it was just a plugged port?
