The "coffee can" is not used for the ventilation controls, it is used for powertrain control.
The ventilation controls reservoir is a black ball about 3.5 inch across, not hard to spot.

Their should be a hose leaving the ball, going through a "T", a check valve and then push on to the intake manifold at a vacuum fitting.

From the "T" there should be a hose running to the vacuum control in the cab.
