What is this line?

This line became disconnected when I was checking around the engine for oil leak; hopefully I reconnected it up under the cowl but it was full of oil, which I cleaned. Anyone know what it is for?

The line in question looks like the vacuum supply line for the HVAC system. The end opposite of the visible tee should attach to manifold vacuum somewhere.

Thanks all -I have a stock Ford oil gauge, so must be AC vaccum line. I think it had become disconnected sometime in the past and some oil got up there due to another problem (leaky valve cover gasket).
Subford- as Andym says its a link to my gallery. This is my first time attempting to post an image and I had to research how to do it. Email me if you need help; there's also a Test Forum at the bottom of the Forum List which I used to experiment with before I posted here.
