Charcoal Canister Question
Is it safe to cut the hoses on the carcoal canister and block them off? Just looking for any feedback, as i don't think it was hooked up before the engine swap and my brother hooked it up and ever since its been smoking like a #@%$

It's part of the emissions set up, but no, it won't hurt anything to block off all the lines. Just make sure you block off both sides of the line. The cannister and the side the plugs onto it.
