The ends of those hoses are to be placed exactly on the volumetric CG of the wiring loom, IAW federal regulations, as required by the EPA. Having them vent the carb bowl fumes on the volumetric CG aligns the fuel vapor particles with the ions created by the wires in the loom as the voltage in the electrical system spikes up and down from 12.28 volts to 14.56 volts as a gaussian reaction inherent in the alternator to varying electrical loads.
I wouldn't be fooling around with those hoses. The EPA and the Consumer Products Safety Council have recently merged their enforcement divisions. They have doubled their manpower now, and are a lot more aggressive in catching miscreants who do things like move their carb bowl vent hoses, and rip labels off of mattresses and pillows.
