how do you safely delete the charcoal canister?

I went from tbi to tpi and my charcoal canister is not hooked up to the motor just the gas tank. how can I delete it so I don't have to worry about about fumes?

Why not just hook it up to the right side of the throttle body and not have to worry about the fumes.

because it is a custom instalation. and no other emissions equipment are hooked up. I am going to show the car and if you've ever seen one of these motors in a street rod they are kept very simple for apearance. besides my custom computer and chip don't support the canister anyhow. I just wanna know how to delete it safely.

I ripped mine right out of the car along with the vent line under the car. Not sure if there is a non safe way to get rid of it but thats how I did mine. I plugged the hole on the TB and left the line open thats coming from the tank.
