Default Can I remove this?

I hops i can as i got all new fuel **** now. You cant really see in this pic what i am lookin at. But everyone knows what Im pointin at i hope. There is a piece that plugs into the wiring harness and has a brightly colored plug on it. Its a half dollar in diameter piece that is black adn has a hose that goes back to the fuel tank. I dunno what it even goes to. Can i get rid of this now that i have the fuel sustem that is in the pic. Dual intanks 8an feed stock feed for a return and a boost referenced FPR. I also got 60er's and LS1 speed fuel rails. I hope i can dump it and clean more **** from under the hood. Thanks

Its the Evap I think, if you get rid of that be ready for the gas smell in your garage. Gas vapors are sucked from the tank through a charcol filter into the intake and burned off. Anyone jump in if I am off on this one.

Yes it is the EVAP.
I had mine disconnected for a while and let me tell you it not only stunk up my garage, every room close to the garage, but the car constantly smelled like fuel while driving around. Life is so much better since I re-plumbed mine back in.

Just my $.02
