Smile Help 1998 Sporster 883 carburetor vent line

Hi everyone. I got a 1998 Sporster 883 with a crack carburetor an gas is leaking out of it. I went on ebay and got an aftermarket carburetor for this Sporster. It fitted, started up and ran good. BUT, on the old carb it have a vent port and a hose running down to a catch tank by the kick stand. The New After Market Carb do not have a vent port. What should I do with the existing vent line? Help Help.

Ditch it.
Probably an overflow line right?
