That clear line on the Vacume pump isn't vacume, its the pressure vent from the output of the vacume pump. Think about it, it sucks on one end creating the vacume this is what it dumps out. Think a minture shop vac. If you DID hook up to the vacume pump on the vacume end with the crank case vapors and suspended oil youwould kill the diaphrams and check valves in the vacume pump post haste.
Besides it doesn't have the capacity to suck the crankcase to a negative pressure level with the motor off much less running, and then it would be a huge vacume leak and none of your accessories would work even if it wouldn't self destruct (the vacume pump)
