It's not even a FI thing. It's an emission thing.

Pressurized air from this elbow gets blown thru the activated charcoal 
cannister and into the air cleaner. This carries fuel vapor that had been 
collected from the gas tank vent into the engine rather than let it evaporate 
into the air.

All cars from 70 on got this if they were sold in a market which required the 
evaporative emission control system.

> Is there a connection on the right too?

No, but there IS a hose that comes in that side and runs into the air cleaner.
