It's a vacuum tank, the feed line should go back towards the check valve near the firewall. The LT1 cars have a similar setup.

If it is a vacuum canister.. it is most likely for reserve to assist with the HVAC controls
If it was a charcoal canister, it would have a line to the Fuel tank and to the PCV system or purge valve system.

Those gloves are kinda of thick and it's hard to really work with little things. Plus I get latex for free anyway.
