Relocation of the Charcoal Canister

Alright, I don't know how many of you guys have removed BOTH your cruise control unit AND your sub-zero tank but, for those who have check this out. Here's a pic showing where I relocated my charcoal canister. I used the existing holes for the sub-zero tank to bolt the bracket up for the canister. Since the holes on the firewall are spaced too far apart you will only be able to use the top bolt in the bracket. One bolt is plenty though...

I, personally, think it looks like it was MADE to go there. Might help with you turbos guys too-that is, IF you haven't already thought of this.

Yep. It'll fit just fine. There has to be at LEAST a 1/32 of an inch between the cruise unit and the hoses for the canister! No prob!

I never used my cruise so I don't miss it...
