Yes, you should plug the port on the throttle body that used to connect to the air cleaner. That is a definite vac. leak.

To fix the plastic line you broke, you'll have to pick up some from an auto parts store. If they don't have the plastic type, you'll have to use a rubber line, just try to get the size closest (inner diameter) to the broken plastic one. Sometimes, if the plastic isn't too brittle, you can use a short length of rubber hose to connect the two ends of the plastic line where they broke.
