The AIR solenoid thing just vents to atmosphere. I believe it's just for if the AIR pump is still running when the solenoid is commanded closed, it blows out there. You certainly don't want it blowing into the clean-air side of the air filter housing, since the air may or may not be very clean.

I also wouldn't be surprised if it interferes with the hood closing, as it closes quite close to the radiator shroud.
