What have you taken out? If your motor is stock, you shouldn't need to connect any extra hoses or anything. If you smell exhaust under the hood you may have a header leak at the heads or at the H pipe.

that hose is for a/c only, absolutely nothing to do with smog

that picture is kinda small but the hose appears to be the AC line. That does need to be connected to pass smog.
Make sure you fix your exhaust leak. Also, make sure you have CARB numbers for the intake and headers.
Also, looks like you have some sort of CAI or power pipe. You may have trouble w/ that if it doesn't have a CARB number.
