There should be two HARDLINES clamped to the firewall going from the charcoal canister area to the area on the left side of the engine bay. One goes to the three way checkvalve back at the fuel tank and the other larger one goes to the crankcase vent line shown in your picture with the two fuel lines (ones with *radiator* clamps on them.

I'm not sure where the HOSE in your pictures is coming from. If coming from a hardline clamped to the firewall and that hardline is going over to the charcoal canister area, then that hose or a hose like it should go to the open hardline in your second picture.

See the jpg I attached earlier.

The hardline connected to nothing in your second picutre ...........if you follow it back to its original starting point on the engine, you'd find it gets tied to a nipple coming from the intermediate housing located just below the oil filler pipe. Real hard to see even when you know where it is when looking at a fully built up engine.
