Intake manifold vacuum line removal 110 38 engine

Hello all,

I am still working on a 37 115 with a 38 model year six engine. I had a question about the vacuum line off the intake manifold. This engine has a newer single action fuel pump for a 1940 six. I traced the intake vacuum line back that should have been connected to the vacuum side of the fuel pump, but since it is not a dual action the line runs straight back across the firewall into the passenger area but is not hooked to anything.

I am assuming this is not good to leave like this

Can I simply dead end the line at the intake manifold? I would then remove the lines. I was wondering if my grandfather was trying to use the wipers and set it up like this. He is no longer living so I can't ask him. The wipers don't work, and I don't need wipers as I will drive in only fair weather.

Thanks. James
