If you make a vacuum in the crancase, there is less air for the bottom of the piston to push against, hence, less power lost, and no oil drool on the outside of the engine.
One trick you will find in dragracing is that they have several vacuum pumps on the crankcase to gain power. Keeping the hose to the airbox helps, there is nothing to be gained by removing it.
