When I took my engine out, there were 3 vacuum lines. A big one from the manifold went to the brake booster, one small one from the carb went to the distributer but the other smaller from the carb went to a copper tube that disappeared down to the RHS of the bulkhead.

It bugged me trying to think what it'd be for... a few weeks later, whilst replacing all the hoses, I blew into it to see if there was any resistance... free flowing. I removed the fuse box cover at the front right and there was the copper pipe disappearing up under the dash...only for about 6 inches and then it turned to a rubber tube... of 2 inches... dangling free. Vacuum gauge or boost gauge??
