Canister control valve removal?

I'd like to bypass my canister control valve to clean up the engine bay on my lg4 if possible. I've seen some people say just to rip it all out, but I want to do it the smart way, if possible.

Suggestions?

Re: Canister control valve removal?

it can be easily relocated adjacent to the charcoal canister by extending the vacuum lines. if that helps?

Re: Canister control valve removal?

I'll probably try that. It is one ugly wart of a device...
