That "vacuum" line sounds like it might be the TB heater hose that someone bypassed not a big deal unless you drive the car in the winter a picture would tell are you getting a service engine light or checked fuel pressure at the rail or checked to see if your your air filter is clogged

I mean the filter element. By "doesnt have an air filter at this moment" do you mean the element, or the whole assembly? Is anything disconnected or removed, like the MAF sensor, or any other sensors, etc.?
