I did install the oil system according to FF section, but after connecting the oil pressure and both Oil cooler in and out, these 2 plugs are free.

It's too small for that in this case, I think. If you have both of your AN8 lines already in for the oil cooler, then this should get capped.

If you can't find a purpose for it in the overhaul or parts manual, definitely needs an AN cap. Plastic caps are only for shipping.
