I have a 73 2.0 FI engine and I am wondering if I need the expansion take and/or charcoal cannister? If I can remove these than what do I do about the openings in my air intake for the charcoal cannister? And can someone please explain the purpose and what the charcoal cannister actually does please?

"yes" that is, the car was supplied with these items from the factory but the car can work without them. The charcoal canister is for emissions purposes. The vapor fumes from the gas are fed thru the charcoal and sucked into the intake air by the hose routing to the air filter housing. The hoses are routed along the drivers side rocker panel and enter the engine compartment below the relay board. If you don't use the expansion chamber it seems to me that you've created a greater problem to solve as to how to close up the top of the tank and how to make a filler.
