What is this block off plate for?

(picture taken from Traxions tech article) Forgive my lack of knowlegde on ealier intakes but what is this blockoff plate near the dist. hole and where do I get it? I bought a used intake and I need to block it off. My first thought was it was for the cold start. I am probably wrong . I 'll probably have to cut a piece of metal to fit over it or something.
Btw I have an 89.

Ok, Thanks guys . I guess Eldebrock made this intake universal for all L-98s.
