Canister under passenger frame rail?

What the hell is this thing for? It has a vacuum line running to it and thats about it. It is under the passenger side frame rail, just infront of the sway bar mount. Thanks!

It's a vacuum resevoir for the HVAC system.

Actually, I think that might be the "charcoal box" for the fuel vapor return line. May be wrong.

IIRC, I think that's on the driver's side.

Yeah, I didn't see passenger side, just "in front of the sway bar". Oops.
