It's part of your PCV, Positive Crankcase Ventilation system, and yes, you need it. It keeps the crankcase from getting pressured up and blowing all of your oil out.

It needs a source of clean, filtered air. And thats what it was getting from the filter box. Don't plug it, and don't leave it open to unfiltered air.
