Id say keep it and relocate it if your hell bent on doing something with it. It does serve a purpose by keeping the tank pressure stable for better fueling. I know I capped mine and the tank builds pressure and it has an effect on the tuning.

Didn't you tell me you can delete all the evap stuff and just leave the line open so it won't build pressure?

yes i did, so i can delete the evap crap, cap the intake and leave the hard line open to vent? can i also cut the hard line back so it vents under the car instead of the engine bay with out problems?
