Thanks Brian and flmont. According to diagrams of the vacuum hose routing, this short section of vacuum hose should go to the small u-shaped rubber hose connection at the top of the Secondary Air Injector right under the intake manifold. It appears that the only way to access that part without removing the intake manifold is to remove the alternator.
My prolonged efforts (4-5 hours) to remove the alternator have failed so far, but I will try again. I have loosened the seized slide bushing at the back of the alternator and have moved the alternator itself, but rotating it counterclockwise out of its mounting just is not working. I will do a search on this and other forums to see if there is something that I am missing. So, thanks again for the input.
