Charcoal Canister?

My car is no longer smog legal. It has no cat, smog pump or egr. If I take out the charcoal canister will I have any codes or problems? and what all has to be done..? anything special I should know about? or do I just take it out and remove the wires and vacume lines going to it?

yes. also you are s.o.l. if you top off your tank cause that is where the fuel ultimatly goes although that is not the purpose of th canister. why do you want to remove it since it is connected to the fuel return vapor lines?

I've had mine off for over a year with no problems. I removed it because I plan to run dual batteries and I need the space.
