What is this part?

On my 83 CJ7 I6 258, there is an aluminum hose which is running from the bottom of my air filter housing down to what looks like the exhaust manifold (can't see clearly yet).

Does anyone know what this is for? Function? Also, what is it called?

Thanks,

Bill

If this part was disconnected, would it cause the engine to run poorly? What issues/characteristics would happen if this tube was disconnected?

Thanks,

Bill

It just helps your engine warm up faster and prevents carb icing in high humidity.
