I was fortunate enough to not have to answer this question. In
Washington, cars have to pass emissions for 25 years, but are only
tested in 4 counties (and I am not in one of them). However, to make
the point moot, the previous owner had removed just about everything.
All that remains is the Carbon canister, and the (refitted)
anti-run-on valve. I figure my car runs fairly efficiently, and it is
nice to think that at least the emissions equipment that doesn't
cripple the car is still in action (well, assuming I don't need to
renew the charcoal).
Personally, I would remove the gulp valve, air pump and such, but
leave the carbon canister, anti-run-on valve, and associated vent
piping in place.
