Ben I don't really think you can remove the engine bay smell due to the nature off carbs I noticed more smell when I used the twin K&N setup ,I'am now back to using the stock air cleaner and it seems less.
Any system will only be effective when you have suction and pressure when the engine is running ,perhaps I'am wrong but that's my take on it.

You are correct, but there are also gas fumes that come from the gas tank vent. If this breather/vent is not connected to an evaporative system, you will also get gas fumes in the cabin and the garage. Even driving my car to the store, if the windows were rolled up, I still had gas fumes in the car. I have heard of people taking the tank breather and running it through a fuel filter and then out the bottom of the car. I tried all the tricks and my cabin still smelt like gas as well as the inside of the garage. After installing the expansion chamber and charcoal canister the fumes in the cabin and in the garage went away..
