At a minimum you'll have at least one running to each fuel tank, capturing vapors. And then one to the intake area, pulling those vapors to burn them.

The big silver colored canister on the passenger side wheelwell.The rear line off of the can goes to a round metal vac T coming off of the pass. side of the intake.It points to the pass side and looks like a hex shaped piece of pipe threaded into the intake.The other one looks like it is routed under the intake around to the vac solenoids(for what I don't know) on the driver side right above the cyl. number 6 spark plug.I went out and looked at mine just now.It's dark but I tried to chace the lines down as best I could.Mine is an 88 F-150 300 auto so they should be the same

I believe that's the vacuum reservoir, used to keep steady vacuum to the EGR and thermactor solenoids.
