Yes, I would like to know about this as well, since Ken
and I are trying to figure this out for our similar project
cars...  ;)

I know Jasin just removed most of the vacuum canisters, so
what harm is there to doing this?  Will emissions be affected
greatly?  I *do* need my car to pass the sniff test, but
will removing these canisters really affect this?

I would like to remove as many of the lines as possible, so
what are the consequences for removing it all...

Thanks
