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?

After 30+ years I would think the charcoal is toast. With any charcoal filter they usually have a service life. A charcoal respirator will even get used up sitting open to the air. Anyone know how long they last and if you can get a replacement or refill?
