88 IROC EVAP Canister

I have seen other setups where the EVAP canister from a 3rd gen was not hooked up and the vehicle still passed inspection. Is an EVAP something you have to have, or could I do without?

The evap canister collects gas fumes and stores them for later burning. It doesn't affect tailpipe emissions. There's not much benefit to removing it.

But if it wasn't connected now, it wouldn't be something I would need to worry about.

Not unless you have a visual emissions inspection that looks for it.
