BAC Valve-keep it or remove it?
I need help deciding whether to keep or remove my BAC valve.
Here's the background...
I used to live in an area that had no emissions, so I removed the rats nest, acv, bac, air pump etc.
Now I live in an area that has emissions, so I've sourced all of those parts and put them back on the car.
I know the air pump and acv is required for emissions.
But I don't think the BAC is required.
Pros and cons?

About 15 years ago I wanted the cleanest engine bay I could get free of anything that wasn't required to make the engine run. I removed all the emissions pieces, bac valve, thermo pellet, etc. I took the mechanical fan off and replaced it with an electric one. I did everything to make the engine bay empty. 4 RX-7's later and I am now driving a car that still has everything in the engine bay. Completely stock looking and functioning. It runs better that way.

eg: so far today, I've spent the last 1.5 hrs trying to get the air pump to fit correctly(and it still isn't on). If I didn't live in Jersey, that would be 1.5hrs of my life back.

Might be time to buy a Toyota pickup.....
Seriously, anything that is 20 years old is not going to work to fill your stated goal.
If the seven is your daily driver then you have to expect to be walking form time to time.
At least get a AAA card so you can get the car home when it breaks.
