Outside Air Vent

Do we only have on of these in the car on the passenger side?

I have looked at the vent while the car is running but when does it open up?

Could I just unhook the thing vacuum line to keep outside air and dust form coming into the car?

Thanks

That is the recirculation door. It opens when you put the HVAC control to MAX A/C.
