Charcoal canister, yes it can be removed, theirs vacuum diagrams hiding somewhere around with ways to delete it, I believe block off the line on the bottom and theirs a line on your oil filler neck and at the housing underneath the filler neck, take those 2 lines and connect them to a catch can, or put them into a coke can. same difference.
