yea i installed gt35rs single turbo so i was switching to 6an lines
charcol canister on my car , looks like it got lines running to the top of gas tank
if its good to keep it in i will just bolt it back up
fuel filter is in middle of now where.. so i am just cutting the lines around it..
and i will drop it out when i do my differential mounts
some pic of the setup

serb, I hope that isnt the position you intend on mounting that IC. you will get better cooling with the IC either horizontal, or angled lower toward the rear. with the angle you have now, the top side will be too close to the hood, and will allow very little room for air to flow through. This is the reason many of the V-mount specific ICs have the input/outputs welded on the top, instead of how yours are.
And to the OP, yes the charcoal canister can be eliminated, but realize that the ECU uses this system to send gasoline vapor into the intake stream, and is therefore set up to expect this extra (yes I know its minute, just explaining how it works) fuel. and as I hope everyone knows, gasoline itself is not flammable, only the vapor is, so make sure you either filter the hose coming from the gas tank (don't cap it, as it is there to vent excess pressure from the fuel tank) outside of the engine bay for safety reasons, or just leave it in there.

i am still working out the ic thing....that was just for the pic moving it around there..
for some reason i just like the look of that angle .....i was thinking horizontal too.... cut and relocate the outlet ,,,welded it on the top...175$$ shipped cant beat that core18x12x4... still cheaper then paying 1500$$...or maybe i can make some kinda ram air for it to work wit carbon fiber hood

I am assuming you are going with a v-mount when I say this, if you leave the radiator mounted in the stock location:
Front of car------->
radiator tilt /
then mounting the IC like that will do absolutely nothing, in a V-mount configuration the IC is the way I described
front of car------->
Intercooler is: _ or /
and rad is...... \ or \
just making sure.
