Well, charcoal is supposed to filter out pollutants, so maybe it was meant to filter out exhaust fumes from other cars or something. Though I do know charcoal doesn't have a real long life so I know it's not filtering much of anything anymore.

And yeah, it only weighs about 2 pounds for the whole system. But you get rid of three vacuum lines that are potential leakers:

crankcase breather system performs the same function, but no valve. there is

AFAIK, the charcoal canister is meant for the cabin air. It's supposed to filter out some of the nasty crap outside before the air goes inside. Someone, I forget who, had a tech article on how to get rid of it, although it doesn't weigh much (about 1lb if I remember correctly).
