Any problem with long vacuum lines?

I'm getting an aftermarket canister but the best place for me to mount it is near the heater box under the hood. Will that be a problem? Also, should I remove the stock orb if I go with an aftermarket one?

Despite what you may have heard elsewhere, length doesn't matter - At least in this case.

Many factory installations place the canister in some rather remote locations.
