EVAP delete?

[JoeliusZ28]

Looking for information on whats involved in an EVAP delete. After doing some initial fuel line disecting today, I found that the previous owner of my car must have partially disabled this system already. One of the vacuum lines on the EVAP solenoid is plugged (the lower connection) and there was an open vent tube bundled with the fuel lines in my engine bay I never knew about. (Im assuming these two should have been connected.)

I am planning on completely relocating my fuel lines, so if possible i would like to delete the EVAP canister and make everything as simple as possible. What do i need to do, and how big is the risk of gas fumes? Ive never had an issue with fumes the way the car is configured now... which is clearly not receiving the vacuum energy it was intended to.

Honestly I just removed it all and cut that plastic line back in the wheel well before it comes into the engine bay. I don't smell gas because of it so I don't think it's a big deal. I heard when you over fill your gas tank that the overflow goes into that charcoal canister which is probably why some people really smell gas and others don't.

Do LT1's have a pressure sensor in the tank?

My guess is no, but I could be wrong.

I just trimmed back the vacuum line to the rear of the car where its out of the way. At this point I am fine leaving everything the way it is if I have to, but I would really like to know if the EVAP canister is even doing anything right now having no vacuum feed. I'd rather have the dead weight removed from the car if thats the case.

OK, then there might be a vacuum/flow check...but that might be 96+

Capping the line at the rear and using a vented gas cap might be the easiest solution
