1969 lines going into Powerbooster check valve?

What are these two lines going into my check valve on the power booster? I know one is engine vacuum, but the other? It seems to go into the firewall and somewhere in the car.

If it goes into the car it might be the HVAC vacuum supply... just a guess.

Question is do I need it or can I do away with it? The new power booster I got doesn't have it.

If you can't reuse the old fitting you any have to tee the vac line in somewhere else. I guess leave it off and see what isn't working. Don't have my service manual at work :/

can I just pop it out and stick it into my new one?

Maybe the vac supply to the automatic emergency brake release?

emergency brake release is a manual lever.

a 66 power booster has both. I got it for my 68

Yes, there is a manual lever as well, but I think the automatic release feature was standard. It would make sense to me that the vac for the emergency brake release would be the same source as the power brakes. That vac line would have no reserve canister. The automatic feature was designed to function only when the engine is running, thus supplying vacuum. Moving the gear selector to drive would engage the neutral safety switch to release the brake.

I just ordered one so I'll see when it arrives.

The one for the 66 is way too large. Also I think I know what that second line is for. It may be for the cruise control vacuum control. I popped the original one off the car and stuck it into my new powerbooster and it fit perfectly.
