Installing new motor...

This weekend I'm going to be putting in the 400 motor in my truck to replace the tired 351m with a blown head gasket. My question is this, on the new motor i have a edelbrock 1406 carb. I know that the pass side port goes to the distributor, and the center front to the pvc, and the back to the booster. My question is do I just cap off the driver side small vac port on the carb? or does it connect somewhere? Thanks, also any tips on installation ould be greatful, as this is my first motor swap. the truck is a 79 f250 manual 4x4. thanks again
