Vent? I wouldn't think a vent would come from the bottom of the trans (below fluid level).

Looks like cooler lines - just routed to the passenger side.
Post a pic from the driver side. I never saw a AMC installation before but thats my guess. Not one of the two cooler lines. They are present on the left side of both transmissions.

Maybe a closeup to the line fitting under the extension. Only thing in the extension is the governor port - not sure why there would be a line to it.

I saw that pic earlier - was hoping for one a little closer and a better angle.
But, it looks like something attached to the governor pressure tap. Never seen anything like it before.

Somehow tied in to cruise control or the speed governor on a truck? The best guess over at the AMC forum is that it's part of the TCS (transmission Controlled Spark). That line goes up to a switch/solenoid that electrically controls something to do with spark advance I believe. I'm just trying to understand if I can remove the line and plug for my use. Kunkel, where are you at?

I spoke with my Mopar Transmission builder . He had knowledge of this line . He said it ran up to something that had to do with retarding timing momentarily coordinating the shift with governor pressure for a smoother shift . He said it only came on a couple models like a Matador . He was a lot more detailed on his explanation , but I could only get a grasp of the basics , as it was a quick phone conversation . He said to put plug/cap at the transmission and Forget about it !
