theres this pretty thick hose that is supposed to go into the cold air intake, is that a vacuum line and do i actually even need to hook it up?...cuz i dont want to weld another pipe from the cold pipe and i'd rather just block it off instead

no you need it or the car won't idle... its not a cold start thing, its the idle air control valve. Without it the car won't run at idle. Period.
