remove vapor cylinder???

hi guys im totally revamping the engine bay on the gta hiding all the wires and welding all the holes up when i came cross a few probs with the vapor cylinder.

i have 2 lines running in to the cylinder one from the throttle body and the one that runs from the fuel tank. 1st problem the out line does run any where just comes out to a empty hoes??? 2nd problem is one of the wires has been snapped all along, not really a problem can soon be sorted.

so can u remove the the vapor cylinder? i have no EGR or SMOG on the car as we dont have the same test you guys have over here in england

thanks already guy

You can but you need a vented fuel cap and need to rework the vent line ( that runs to the canister at front ) at the tank so it drops down into the breeze like old skool cars ( before pollution laws) ; you don't want fuel vapors venting to the engine bay
Redundant vac ports on TB need capping
