relocating charcoal canister
About a week ago I took out the sub zero start tank on my car. Now that I have that space open I'm thinking it would be cool to move the charcoal canister from the strut tower over to where the sub zero tank was. Can I just put it there? Or does it have to be where it is for a reason? TIA

I read your email
Sure, re-locate it. It's used to reduce the fuel vapor emissions. Just don't remove it otherwise you'll be gaging on the stench of fuel. 
Upload some pics if you do it.

Well, this morning I took the mounting bracket off and moved it to where the tank was, it looks really good, but the holes don't line up, the spacing between the holes on the charcoal canister bracket is much smaller. I mounted it with one bolt to see if I liked it, and then put it back just to be safe. Jimmy: What did you do? make your own bracket or drill a new hole in the firewall? I'm kind of hesitant to do that because there is a lot of stuff back there I'd rather not drill through. also, what did you do about the lines? Trim them? modify the hard line?

You could just drill another hole in the bracket to line up with the existing holes.
Or you could do what I have done with every 1st gen I have owned (4), Chunk it in the woods next to the air pump.
The only time I smelled inside the car was when my Holley was leaking.

I did it a while back so i don't exactly remeber if I used just one hole or two. But i Do know that i removed the cold start bottle and the cruise control crap which may have lead to more holes to use. But even one hole would be enough to hold it up, doesn't weigh that much.
