1- charcoal canister. you can remove it or you need to tap those hoses into a vacuum source

2- brake booster line. there's a big nipple on the intake manifold

3- A/C drain. doesn't hook to anything

are both of your heater core hoses hooked up to the firewall? only thing i can think of is maybe that hose is one you installed for that purpose, though it's not exactly pointing in the right direction.

The shorter one that's attachjed to your intake mani is the old japanese brake booster hose. remove it and attach the US one (longer one)

that line is for the fuel tank vent.... you can pull it of all the way if you like..... though you run the risk of rupturing the tank from too much built up gasses... but ive never heard of that.... i just left it at the hardline where it comes up by the fire wall and got rid of the rest of the line to the other side of the bay...

throw the canister away hahaha

did you plug up the hardline, so basically disconnect that hose and throw the canister away and at the hardline just leave it open?? or plug it??

leave the hardline open..... its a vent for the gas tank..... ive heard of someone removing the hardline all the way to the tank... so you can do it if you like... i how ever cut it just below the firewall so you couldnt really see it, and for got about it.
