Sump vent and evap line hook up?.

What kinds of options are there for dealing with the big vent line from the sump tank and the small evap line from the l fender charcoal canister.
Additionally, my 74 has that huge black canister tucked into the front of the engine compartment.
I learned my lesson on the 308, dumping all of the smog/evap junk, only to run out of fuel because the fuel tank didn’t get any make up air as the fuel was consumed -DUHHH.
I am inclined to run the sump vent line into the bottom of the right K&N filter and do the same with the evap line on the left side. I see a fair bit of oil residue in the CIS air box and don’t want to have that running out of the air cleaner, but a puke can is unappealing also. Should I go totally retro with the antique “Road Draft Tube”, that left a huge oily black smear down the center of each road lane? Maybe not.

On a more positive note, Shaun’s air cleaner is absolutely gorgeous and I see that he has a small K&N vent filter on the sump.

Looking forward to the X Factory early Christmas present.
