If I'm correct, I believe that's just a breather for the transmission and it doesn't have to be connected to anything...at least mine isn't anyway

That's the tranny breather, don't worry about it, if you suspect a vac leak, spray starter fluid around the intake and lines, if idle changes, then you have a leak somewhere, also keep water handy, since its flammable.
