Well I'm not sure if the vacuum ball is NECESSARY... but it helps. ;) Someone correct me if I'm wrong (and I probably am)... but I believe the vacuum ball is used as a "vacuum reserve" for when the engine isn't rotating enough to create the vacuum necessary to work HVAC controls and stuff. The vacuum ball stores extra vacuum to use in these situations.

 

I could be wrong though...
