not sure on a '93, but there is a vacuum line on my '84 which goes to a vacuum motor tucked back near the firewall on the pass. side right under the windshield which operates a heater/AC door. There is a small check valve in the lines there also. It's all pretty simple stuff once you understand where it's going.

If you can't find where it goes, at least plug it so it isn't stealing vacuum from your brake booster.
