Adam, here is some more food for thought....Its possible the extra fitting is on there to meet California emissions. I was just chatting to a guy with a 81 and he says his has 4 fittings on it and one was for the smog pump....Maybe GM just shipped them for either or and blocked off the one not needed.

EFE TVS is Emissions Federal Equip - If you have one of these Thermal Vacuum Switches going to your canister Then Most Likely it is the TR SPK TVS
TR (Thermal Regulated ) SPK (Vacuum Advance) TVS Thermal Vacuum Switch These would both be supplied from a ported vacuum NO vacuum at idle. The one missing would run inline to your vacuum advance This kept the advance from working until the engine reached a predetermined temp a ploy to reduce emissions at cold temps when the choke was engaged.
