What's the purpose of this connection? Intuitively it would seem like you just need the puke hose from the back of the manifold and then two tubes going out, one for vapors and one for oil back to the pan. So what's the other one for?

It's a vent for the gearbox. The originals had a hose running from the differential to a "T" on the gearbox, and then on up to the puke tank.

Opinions vary as to whether it's a good idea to connect all 3 together. I omitted the line from the differential to gearbox, but I did connect the gearbox to the puke tank.
