Look like it was deleted at CT19971, roughly Jan 1963.  

But I think it was just because they decided the separate vent tube was 
overkill (and has a tendency to dump fuel on the road).  The "emissions" tanks 
would have had a separate fitting(s), to allow the fumes to be routed to the 
carbon canister and intake manifold.

My vent line has been blocked off for years.  Other than not leaving a stripe 
of fuel when I turn left with a full tank, it seems to work fine.  But I also 
have a fuel cap with a small vent hole through the inner plate.
