That looks like the vacuum line that runs to the MAP sensor on the back of the intake manifold. The only other line I can think of that runs to the back goes into the back valve cover. Are you able to find the other broken piece?
Broken vacuum hose
I have my Malibu back on the road, but there are a couple of issues that have so far thwarted me.
First, something that may have happened as a result of the crash is a broken vacuum line.
Its location is on the other side of a tee from the PCV. There is a tee into the intake, with the hose to the PCV coming toward the front, and then another one going toward the back.
On my car, the hose toward the back ends in a ragged break, and I can't find in the Haynes manual where it's supposed to go. With the engine running, it just sucks air.
Here's a photo:
I will ask about the other issue in a separate topic.

Ok, that is the hose that goes to the back valve cover. There is a hole in the cover that it attaches to. Here's a picture to show where it goes to.

The purge solenoid is located in that area and might be what the line is for.
