No idea, but if it is just hanging there have you tried putting a screw in the end to block the hose.

It goes to the diverter valve on the Air Injection pump. It's probably an on/off thing that switches when the engine warms up. The AIR system has no place to divert to, it looks to me like it just dumps the air out on top of the passenger's side fender. So it's not a very important vacuum line.
