Default Purge control solenoid valve on ZC

I know on my other engines the vacuum hose at the bottom of the valve went into the back of the intake manifold below where it mounts, but the ZC manifold I have on does not have a place for it that I have seen, did these just vent to atmostphere? I'dd take pictures when I get home.

A vacuum to intake and a vent to atmosphere are two different things, is this purge for emission canister, one hose goes to the intake and one goes to the canister, we will wait for your pic please.

Yeh that wasn't very clear sorry about that I was in the middle of something and just realized how bad it was.

Anyway, the thing is on my original motor and in my helms it shows the bottom line coming off of the Purge Control Solenoid Valve going into my intake manifold right below where the valve mounts on the back of the manifold. Now when I put my ZC motor in the line instead of going into the intake manifold was just hanging, not attached to anything and there is no nipple on the back of the ZC manifold for it to plug into. I know it sucks without pictures but as soon as I'm home I'll get them.

Its kewl, just tee it into another intake vacuum hose, it will purge like normal when the ECU tells the solenoid to open, simple fix. Try not to run it into a single intake runner like number one runner, try to port it to the entire intake (surge tank in Japan talk), after the throttle body for example.
