Thanks guys
Thanks guys
Just yank it all out.
I read to put a breather on the hard plastic line that comes in the engine bay with the plastic fuel lines. But I just left mine uncapped inside the plastic sleeve.

Guys, you do know if you jsut leave it uncapped you have raw gas vapors leaking into the engine compartment. That coupled with the nylon gas lines is a recipe for a complete engine fire or explosion.
The evap system can't be capped off either because it will allow pressure to build up in the tank, which could eventually take out a fuel pump and cause a vapor-lock like condition.
I actually have experience with this situation... Went through a number of fuel pumps and had a nasty chemical burn for my troubles in understanding how the system works... It is still hooked up to my car to this day and it is far from a 'stock' setup... There is absoloutly no need to remove it...

I did it to mine a little bit ago, pulled the whole system, heres some pics from my build thread...
This pic is of the actual canister located behind the drivers rear tire. Just kinda wiggled it free.
Here are the lines I pulled from the engine bay. The little block piece is attached to the intake by a 7 mm bolt. I ended up capping the TB where it connected to.
I just need to put a filter on the end of the main line so the gas fumes can properly vent
btw, i didnt end up throwing a code.

So if pressure builds up there is no way for it to get out except to go through the evap system and into the intake...

I'm in the middle of my cam swap. Some of these lines are very brittle and are near breaking. I also don't like the clutter. It's just more crap to get in the way. I'd love to get rid of this stuff bit I'm still not sure what is safe to block off or pull. My EGR system is already gone. I've also read that most people are using a vented gas cap after this delete. There was some discussion that if you roll the car it could be more dangerous because gas will spill. In my vert I think I'd be screwed anyway.
