part question / weight reduction

This might not fit in the drag racing section or even fit as weight reduction because it weighs about nothing. What is the black canister mounted on the outside of the passenger side frame rail, right behind the horn. It appears to have a black vacum line attached. I'm in the process of disasembling and getting rid of stuff I don't need, and this is the only part I can't figure out.

it just stores vacuum to help the vent position to change faster...supposedly anyways. i removed that a long time ago and noticed no difference whatsoever. also, doesnt weigh ****

Thanks, yea it's unbolted just dangling. Would seem less then a pound. I just didn't know what it was, and didn't want to throw it out in case I needed it.
