The PCM does control the EVAP Solenoid and Valve. The PCM needs input from the fuel take pressure and fuel level. Without those.. the PCM would never open the valve to purge the vapors out of the tank.
If you doing a non-Smog conversion, I would just do alway with it. I just run a Charcoal Canister and use the EVAP Port as a vacuum source for the can on my Chevelle.
If you doing a Certificed SMOG Conversion, You will need to get the sensors in the fuel tanks sender/pickup connected and wired as input to the PCM.
