360 vacuum question

I have a 76 f150 with a new 360. Carb is a 64-5341 has motorcraft sticker (2100?) with a manual choke installed. I'm going through the vacuum lines and replacing them. It looks like all smog items have been taken off except the EGR valve.

Question: There is a metal tube coming off the rear of the passenger side exhaust manifold that is not hooked to anything. Does it need to be capped off or does it need to be hooked to something else?

Thanks..................

It's the hot air tube for your automatic choke, since you have a manual choke installed you can just cap it.
