Default What to do with cannister purge solenoid?

I have a 1999 Camaro LS-1 and will be removing all of the emission parts for my swap. Do I need to or should I remove the cannister purge solenoid as well? What to you do with the connections once you remove it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

don't you need it to catch the fuel vapors in the canister? Unless you don't have room, I don't see a reason to remove it.

Not sure what state/city you are from. Some jurisdictions require emissions equipment based upon the year of the engine.

I just found out Illinois won`t have emissions for 95 and older cars, but personally I still wouldn`t remove my purge sol. IMHO its just not worth it, it doesn`t hurt performance, and it keeps my car from smelling like gas. Now my air injection.....what air injection. Now that I don`t have to worry about smog I am thinking about long tube headders which means I probably won`t have room for cats....

EDIT:its not that you can`t delete it, you can tune it out in the computer and you won`t have any problems. I just like the idea of having it, heck it was too tall for my hood so I remote mounted it and made a hose to hook it back up.

i have to agree with g-body on this one. I'm not a fan of smelling gasoline when I'm driving. you may want to run stainless lines or something if the rubber hoses bother you aesthetically.
