Anyone know what this part is?

It sits on the passenger side engine compartment toward the rear of the vehicle. The white tube is very brittle and has broken off. Obviously a vacuum tube, but I have know idea what it is for. |
That is the recirculation vacuum motor. It closes the outside air door on a/c max setting. The white vacuum line can be repaired with a short rubber line

How much would this affect the performance of my A/C??
It will also be a vacuum leak for the engine in the OFF position. So you can not use the OFF or MAX settings. |

That vacuum line doesn't go straight through the firewall inside the cab, it first runs towards the bottom right hand corner of your photograph into a little bundle of vacuum lines.
I replaced that same line just a couple weeks ago with a couple feet of rubber hose. The existing white line was in good shape inside the tape wrapped bundle of lines so all that was needed was to couple a new piece of hose to it. |
