Default EVAP & air pump question

Can anyone tell me where the tube on the bottom of the evap goes that is currently open to air in the pic? Its on a 96z28. Also the other pic is a air module hooked on by a bracket by the coil. Is this used for anything besides the air pump? I would like to get rid of it! I deleted the air pump and had it tuned out.

That's the vacuum purge switch, you're thinking of the EVAP purge solenoid. The switch purges excess vacuum in the purge line, and yes that hose is supposed to be open to atmosphere.

The second is only for the AIR pump. If you're removing it, that air solenoid can go along with it. Just remember to cap off the intake where the hose went.
