So one end of that hose is connected somewhere. Where??

The PCV valve should be in a line from the crankcase to the intake manifold. (Valve cover counts as crankcase since it's connected.)

There also needs to be a crankcase vent hose without restriction, connected from the intake hose upstream of the throttle. This supplies air to make up what's sucked out by the PCV hose.

and to answer ur first question yes it is connected, the hose is running from the PCV cylinder, but just does not connect anywhere else I have looked all around my intake manifold for like a nipple or something that it should connect into but nothing at all so basically the hose is coming off the PCV but no where to connect, I dont know if after the swap that hose is just not functional or what but with the idel problem I am convinced it has something to do with that hose seeing that I am sure that hose has something to do with the the PCV running to the intake manifold or along those lines somewhere but who knows where, sorry I am a rookie when it comes down to engine work thats why I was hoping someone on here would kinda knoiw what I was talking about and could help out lol
