its not too badly kinked it seems to work.

the original did not have a check valve in it. unless someone changed it before.
It seems to work, I do notice (on my test drive) that there is an occasional hesitation at low rpms though.
I wouldn't worry too much about the kink, a little hinderance to airflow to that valve will only keep the idle from being quite so extremely high when it's very cold out. It can get as high as 2000 RPMs if it's really cold outside. That's really high. As long as the line isn't going to get too hurt from being angled like that, I'd leave it alone.

There is supposed to be a check valve in there. Brakes are kind of important, I'd add one. It might not affect it much when the vacuum is very high, but when the vacuum is low, at idle or WOT at low RPMs (although why/how you'd be at WOT and braking at the same time I have no idea) then you may have problems.
