Default Vacum Leak From Removing Smog Can...

I was mocking up a 2" tank lift today and noticed the tube running from the removed canister to the air intake was open...
Wouldn't this cause motor to have a vacume leak? It has been stumbling at low rpm...Thanks for reply....

i was thinking of the wrong hose untill i read ws6's post. the hose that connects to the intake manifold needs to be plugged. you can cap the port on the intake, i just cut down the line a little bit plugged it, zip tied it to the inside part of the frame and called it good. no problems yet.
