Evap/Emissions System Question

[infernosg]

So a simple check into the FSM answers one of my questions. Connecting the charcoal canister directly to the intake seems like a bad idea since I no longer have the purge control valve. I have two options: (1) leave the canister in the car and cap the nipple that used to go to the bottom of the oil filler neck or (2) delete it altogether. Is the reactive charcoal still working after nearly 30 years?

So the only question that remains is whether or not it's a bad idea to have the vacuum source for the oil catch can tied to a single rotor or to the same "circuit" as the FPR, MAP sensor, and brake booster.

I don't think we can all give you a definite answer without having the set-up in front of us...

Only way to confirm is to test it yourself...
Run a (cheap) pressure / vacuum gauge and put it inline (T?) into all the branches and see how bad the fluctuations are.
Brakes should not be that big of a deal, since minimal fluctuations are not going to change the braking performance that much.
Also, very few functions of the engine depend on deep vacuum under throttle lift, so I don't see how this will effect the performance of the engine significantly in the first place.

If you don't have to worry about emissions, then just run all that crap open-air - you just gotta deal with the fumes smell every now and then.
