If Bentley 24.24a is correct, a #80 would still be twice too big -
they allege that the hole is only .15 mm/.006".  Doesn't seem likely
they did the conversion in the wrong direction since .15" would
hardly be a restriction.  However since it's only operating the valve
for the charcoal canister (and the suction line for that has its own
.055" restrictor) I doubt it's a fatal error.  Maybe should be noted
though that air coming through the canister is unmetered, so it
definitely wants the restriction in the suction line.
