I think I might be missing a hose

Okay so this has been bothering me for well, months, but at one point I decided to replace the nearly disintegrated vacuum hoses on my 2000 Beetle. Well, I found 3, and I remember that I think there's supposed to be 4....

So, I don't know where this supposed 4th hose is supposed to be, but I have a couple of educated guess, but I don't know what I'm doing, so I'll give you a couple more photos of... areas that I think are just generally suspect:

If anyone could give me a better idea what those are and where this.... 4th hose is supposed to be, that'd be awesome sauce, thanks.

It looks like the one that goes to the leak detection pump in the rear fender. There should be a hose that connects it to another hard line at the edge of the engine compartment. There is a little panel that has the 2 fuel lines and 2 evap lines on it. See this DIY I put together on the EVAP system:

Saw that, instantly got lost, what needs to be connected where now?

The hoses marked A and B go to:
A - leak detection pump (connects to 4 hose panel)
B - N80 Evap purge valve
The hose above B is a cooling system hose that goes from the throttle body to the expansion bottle.

It looks like "B" is the one you are asking about. The other end connects to the left side of the purge valve marked A in this picture:

There is a picture in this thread that shows the part of the hose that goes under the intake manifold. It ultimately connects to a vacuum port on the very top of the throttle body.
