There should be 2 holes on the intake, right next to each other. One is a nipple, that connects to the hose that runs to the intake manifold. The other (I believe this one is the 'plug' that you're talking about) is where the IAT sensor plugs in. It's a 2-wire sensor that should go on the intake tube around 6" or so from the throttle body (I'm not sure of the exact measurement...something like 6" or so). The wires are red with a white stripe and green with a white stripe, if memory serves me correctly.

on my short ram, i have a vacuum line running from the intake to the valve cover. Should we have the IAT sensor in aftermarket intake? Or should it remained plugged?

You should have a vacuum line AND an IAT sensor if your car is OBD2 (96-up). If it's OBD1 or OBD0 (pre-96), then the IAT is on the intake manifold, and you should only have the vacuum line on the intake manifold.
