you on about the pipe that leads to the small filter? that'll be your pcv pipewrork, dont disconnect it unless you want oil vapour coverin your clean engine. which youll probably get with that filter, get a catch can to keep all the sludge away

looks like the pipework to/from the SAP to me.

Therefore dont rip it out unless you are deleting the SAP at the same time.
