Capping cruise control vacuum port on intake cause any problems?

Hey all im trying to find a vacuum leak and i was just curious if i could just pull off the vacuum line from the port at the intake back between throttle body and distributor and cap it? the cruise control in the car has never worked anyways so its not used.

Just curious if capping that port on the intake would cause any problems.

thanks all

Does that port supply vacuum to anything other than the cruise control?

If not...no problem.

I believe the hvac gets vacuum for somereason of it as well but the heater core isnt even hooked up, dont use heat/ac.

I just capped it that night and havent had any problems. Didnt fix my vacuum leak unfortunately.

get any air flow through your floor or AC vents or is it only through the dash defrost vents?
