Default Help on sumped tank setup

I have a '99 TA and put a metal tank from a '98 with a sump kit on the bottom. I left the stock fuel pump inside the tank but only connected the sensor to detect fluid level and disconnected the pump itself (I hope this works). What I'm wondering is what I need to do about the EVAP system so I don't build pressure inside my tank. I completely forgot about it initially and am not very familiar with it. All of the stock fuel lines are disconnected and I plugged the hard lines on the pump. Thanks.

I'm thinking I plugged the EVAP line and should have left one of the lines hooked up to it.

Either re-hook the evap system, or remove it, and plumb the tank end to a cheapo fuel filter. [Acts as an air filter.] This allows the tank to vent, and not pull in dirt.
BE SURE that the filter works both directions!
