The painted tube connects to your charcoal cannister in the front, engine bay passenger side beside the battery. It has three lines connecting to it underneath. I believe its used to recirculate the gas fumes. Has nothing to do with holding up your top.
You can remove your gas fill line and overflow return (small tube) without removing your engine. Just be aware you now have an open gas tank and if it has gas in it the fumes can ignite.
