Icon6 I'm needing some help identifying these vacuum hoses! (pic)

Hey guys,

well my car has been acting up since I installed my new radiator, theres a vacuum leak somewhere. I looked everywhere in the engine and found 2 hoses that were just hanging. They are relatively near each other, but dont reach completely. One is coming off the transmission near the top, its about a 4 inch tube with an open end, and the other is coming off of my fan, out the back, a 2 or 3in tube sticking straight downward, the end of this tube is cut diagonally like penne pasta.

If you know whats up on this, let me know please!!

Here are the pics:

both of these lines are not vacuum lines, the tranny line is just a vent.
the fan line I don't know what it does but it's not important for the engine to function.

Ok good to know, thanks again Dan! I still have yet to test the brake booster thing, Im actually outside working on the car right now. How might I figure something out quickly without having to take the booster off or anything?

Radiator fan one is for condensation relief.

Assuming you are trying to track down the vacuum leak -
disconnect the booster vacuum line and plug it.
