Anyway, back to your question. Yes, the hose connected the fan shroud on my car does connect to the evaporation charcoal canister. I think it serves as the canister purge source - fast air / lower pressure. Here are a couple of photos:

Thanks Dan!! Nice work on the fan, btw. It's amazing how much better things look with just a little elbow grease
Couple other items I wanted to run by you. The yellow wire from the starter solenoid running back into the engine bay seems no longer required, as it served to supply juice to items no longer needed in EFI setup. Am I correct in this thinking? Also, I only have the large defogger relay and the small circular blower relay in the engine bay. You seemed to have another one in your setup. Did you add this or this was already there? Trying to figure out which wire to get the switched 12v from and it's a bit confusing back there
Oh the joys of being a newb to all this DIY stuff. It is quite fun, though. I have a hard time doing my actual job sometimes since I have so much work to do on the car!!
