Removed Charcoal Canister help?

Ok so I have a cracked charcoal canister and I just wanna remove it completely. Its on a drift car and I don't have to worry about emissions and the car is already pretty much fully gutted. Anyways can I just remove the canister and the rubber hoses and leave the metal ones there or do I have to plug those? I plan on doing a t2 swap in the next 6 months so I am not worried about looks and what not I just don't wanna lose any power since I still continuously drift the car and I need all the power I can get

Ok so I followed both lines the small one goes all the back to some sort of regulator, and I think I need to let that one vent I'm not sure though, and also the big one goes down on top of the housing right behind the oil fill neck and looks just like it's some sort of breather, so should I just let them vent or plug em?

don't plug the one going to the oil filler neck,That will cause the crankcase not to vent and you will get excess oil pressure. You may start to smoke oil..

I have removed it before and didn't plug anything up. Car felt like it actually ran better. Drove like that for over 2yes, it was my old drift car as well. And FYI I took it out when the motor had 130k...
