On my '97 855, that line connects to the fuel pressure regulator. I wrote up a short guide to replacing the crumbling elbows with silicone tubing here:
Fuel pressure regulator vacuum line replacement
I made this repair a couple of years ago and it is holding up well so far.
Good luck and let me know if I can help out in any way.

No, fuel pressure regulator requires a vacuum source AT the intake manifold. Change it back asap!
That inlet at the piping is part of the TCV control
