A typical EVAP system will have a line running from the fuel tank to the charcoal canister under the hood. There will be two other lines from the charcoal canister, the carb bowl vent and the canister purge line. The carb bowl vent line just goes to an upper tap off of the carb, not to a manifold vacuum source. The canister purge line goes to a ported vacuum source on the carb which is a vacuum source that only has vacuum under certain throttle positions.
