Default will my car run fine if i get rid of a few things....

ok so i did my header install aqnd fast 90/90 and i have high flow fuel rails and really want to get rid of my EVAP system so altogether i want to remove my EVAP system and run a vented gas cap and i would like to completely remove my air pump and all that goes with it. i know i will throw codes but will these affect how my car runs? i have an 02 Z28 and plan to get it all tuned out but for the time being i cant and i need to drive my car...

I would think unless you tune out the codes for the EVAP system you are going to throw a SES light. The computer knows when the as cap is left off which is what a venter cap is going to do.

All of the afore mentioned crap will throw a mil but the car is still perfectly driveable even with these codes. Roll it till you can get a custom tune to maximize all of your mods.

If you disconnect the EVAP solenoid from the hard line and trash it, you can slip a piece of 3/8" fuel line over the old hardline, and use it as a vent. Just run that hose up behind your headlight or something and you're golden, no vented cap needed.
