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?

You can. But you will have fuel smell inside the car every time you have more than a 3/4 tank of gas. - Plug the connection on the air filter and the one on the side of the fan housing. - Remove the lines behind the rocker. - Remove the charcoal canister. - Remove the expansion tank. - Route the small hose that goes to the expansion tank inside the large plastic overflow hose that goes from the filler neck down and outside the bottom of the car. - Get used to the smell of gas.
