My "guess" is, it would serve the same purpose the LT5 cam cover vent tubes do, which is two-fold, (1) as a filtered air purge of the crankcase for the PCV system under normal operating conditions, and (2) as a vent for high crankcase pressure at WOT.

I don't believe there would be any appreciable/measurable vacuum upstream of the throttle body.
