I am fairly sure it is something you don't need. I think you will find there is a bi-metalic valve in there? Carbys on 4K engines have a similar thing, a hot air valve? When the bi-metalic valve gets warm, it opens up and extra air in the inlet manifold. A cold engine needs to run rich, a hot engine can run leaner, so maybe this valve is used to keep the mixtures more on edge, and in the end better emissions and ecconomy. Thats my guess anyway. You may get better ecconomy by hooking it up, provided the engine still runs well. It should be a single vacuum hose from it, to the ballance tube.
Also, these are the late model carbs. So the engine is probably a 18R-GU like you say, and it always had carbs all along. 18RGEU is EFI. It will say either way on the sticker on the front of the motor.
