Default Relatively Quick Question just to double check

I have an 01 XJ 4L anywho in my quest last night to double check connections and what not I figured I might seafoam the XJ. Long story short I ended up breaking one of the hard plastic vacuum lines. Its the middle one off the intake manifold and terminates under the EVAP System Test Port(#3 on the lil diagram). Anywho can I just cap these off until Tuesday when the replacement part comes in without harm to the XJ?
Thanks in Advance

Why not just repair the hard plastic line by sliding a larger vac line over the broken section.

lol honestly I didn't think about that the start of the month has been relatively aggravating for me. It's got about 110k miles on it now figured why not replace them. I suppose I could do that though.

Get you by if your getting new. Caping them might cause a check engine light.
