Evap Canister AIR connection - where does it go ?

[rhodes2010]

Stock 1996 GSX sold in California has Evap Canister under battery tray.

While replacing the clutch we removed the Evap can. I have all the vacuum hoses hooked up and the only thing venting to atmosphere is the connector labeled AIR.

Have no apparent loose hoses that need a place to connect.

Studied the factory service manual (section 17-71), the Haynes, and the Chilton guides looking for proper connection.

The car is stock except for the K&N air filter.

Can I leave the Evap Can AIR connection open ?

Please advise. Here in California we have to be smog checked every two years
and things have to be in place.

Here's from my 99 manual which shows 3 hoses and where they go.
