Well I know that my 87 GTA has a big canister, I do believe that there are some Aftermarket companies that make much smaller canisters for Hot Rod mods, etc....

You could, and I want to, look into getting one of those for my ride!

Fumes from the tank will go into the air ( might not pass emission visual) and you might get a code up from tank purge not operating.

You need to vent the tank somehow and plug the vac lines
