So I'm looking to remove the charcoal cannister and emission components.
I've watched a couple of videos but just wanted to post here to make sure that my understanding is correct.



I'm then left with this


QUESTION: Do I actually have to remove the Vapour Valve #5?
I'm then left with this


Does this look right/I have understood correctly?
TIA

 

Uhm, okay ... but I gotta ask ... why? Was it in the way of something? It doesn't rob power or mileage, and it doesn't weigh much so what's the upside?

I'm not trying to be a smartass or anything like that, I legit want to know what the payoff is to do this. If it's just because you want to, then that's also fair. Just curious.

 

I'm installing an Air Ride suspension system which mounts off the back of the transmission where the cannister is mounted (reference this thread).
Problem is, I was planning on re-installing the cannister to the air ride box I made but there isn't the room or there'll be clearance issues with the movement of the swingarm.

 

Finished for today.
Removed the electrical connection to the purge solenoid but really struggled to remove it.
So I'll probably leave it in place and just cover up/waterproof the electrical connection.
Apart from that go to here (minus the purge tube cap which I'll need to order on Monday):
