smog canister?

Heres the story i bought this project car (83 firebird) about 2 years ago however i got set back on the current project car at the time (really set back 2 years )

The previous owner swaped a 91 TPI LB9 in to it, well i'm in california and the smog check is really strict here. so i set up an appointment to the state reff to get the motor "BAR" stamped on Nov 2 next friday.

As a precaution i started to check to all the emmission equipment and wires, the problem i ran into was that i now found two hoses that lead out of the smog cannister (i think thats the smog canister) and lead to nothing then i found a hose that leads from the fir wall and then to nothing and theres also a plug that goes to nothing.

If any one could please let me know where they go and snap some pics it would be greatly appreciated.

below are the pics: (HQ pics may take a while to load on slower internet connections)

Passenger side canister with two hoses that lead to nothing





Driver side one hose leads from the fire wall then to nothing and then theres a two wire plug that to nothing





thanks in advance to every one.

I believe the driver's side are cruise control parts.

Go to the FAQ forum, look for a thread called "Vacuum Diagrams". Assuming that is the right canister for a '91 TPI, there will be a diagram there to show you how to hook it up.
