because the stock box looks pretty cheesy and you're supposed to getter better air flow and blah blah blah. But, I noticed that I've got another hose down there that used to pipe into the bottom of the stock air cleaner box. Anyone know what should I do with it?

Hmm, I guess it's called an Air Induction System
And it is unique to models produced in 1980. Hayne's says it draws fresh air directly into the exhaust manifold to help burn hydrocarbons before they are expelled as exhaust. So, I guess filtering it is not essential since the worst case scenario would be getting dirt in my exhaust. But having dirt in my exhaust probably won't provide any great benefits. Do people think I should port this into the air cleaner line or just put a seperate filter on it?

Just leave it open... Mines been open for 4 years.
The little box that it goes into has a filter in it. Just remove that filter every few months and clean it out.
BTW. It's called the "Air Induction Valve" and is ONLY on 1980 Model year cars WITHOUT California Emmisions equipment.
