Ill probably end up doing it but that alot to cut out. Oh well may as well do it now while its stripped and easy to get around before the cage goes in.

don't get me wrong, i've taken a hole saw to inconsequential places, but i couldn't cut out that whole section. Yea, i understand its not finished and cleaned up in those pics.
a rollover? that piece is thin gauge sheet metal mainly only meant to hold the qtr panel speakers. not support. the metal pieces behind the speaker panel metal (which are visible in my pic) are alot thicker and are actually meant for support. and of course, those are not coming out

For the fuel Evac system just unbolt the back driver's side wheel well and you will see the charcoal canister. Its hooked onto a sliding clip like peice of metal and you can tug up on the canister and it will come off. Then I removed the evap line under the car and followed it up to the plastic line to the Evap soleniod. I then removed the solenoid and used a ALLEN plug to put in place of the vacumm nipple where evap solenoid came off the intake.
I forget what it weighed I think about 7 lbs from solenoid/metal fuel line/canister. The breather hose that comes from the gas tank I zip tied a nitro methane RC car foam airfilter from the hobby shop as they withstand harsh fuel very well. You will smell a little gas if you fill the tank up all the way but if your like me I just ran a quarter tank allways for weight loss.

Im now using a 8 gallon aluminum fuel cell with a 250gph BG pump for a carb and plate kit so I no longer deal with any of this.
