Default black canister in front of sway bar mount?

Anyone have know what the black canister in front of the passenger sway bar mount is? It has a small thin tube coming out of it to nothing and a metal prong above that. I have no idea what it is and never saw it before, but im sure it serves some purpose. 2001 camaro ss

this thing?




I just removed it today. its not very heavy. i'd say 1lb. I was told it is a vacuum reservior for the air conditioning to function properly. I'm not 100% sure if thats all it does. I'm worried my heater controls may need that to switch settings. I'd really like to know also.
