Just a suggestion, and not to offend any purists, but Vanagon part number 049 133 517 is a standalone EEC valve that could probably be plumbed into the late Bay airbox with a bit of hacktivity.
This item was used on the water-cooled Vanagons. I have a couple of photos here of one that I've bodged onto my air-cooled engine (Yes, that's a re-purposed AAR elbow). For some reason, VW retrograded on the aircooled Vanagons and didn't have any valve in the EVAP system at all.

Interestingly, if you perform a Google search on that part number, every hit that recognizes it as a VW part identifies it as an EGR valve. So much for the Collective Wisdom of the Internet.
