Under your hood you should have a schematic of the emissions system and vacuum lines. It should (if I am not mistaken) show you there.

The purge valve opens (vent valve closed) to apply slight vacum in fuel tank. The fuel tank vapors are pulled from fuel tank through the evap canister into the intake. This routine is run by the PCM to basically check the integrity of the Evap System. Normally the purge valve is shut, the vent valve is open.

In response to your original question, it sounds like your connections are correct - front connection to the tank and middle connection to the throttle body.
The 'cap' on the rear 'AIR' port isn't really a cap, it'* more like a partial cover (it'* not air tight).
This is the way it'* connected on my '92 and '93 (both are supercharged).
