Ken, You can eliminate the carbon canister, but you will have to run the
vent line to somewhere that it won't vent fumes inside the car.  And by
all means do not plug it up.  The car will soon stall when a vacuum
develops inside the fuel tank.  

The vented cap would be in order of you capped the vent.

Joe Curry
