    none. Well you shouldn't really take any out. You can relocate the charcoal canister to somewhere near the tank or just out of the engine bay. Then you can shorten the fuel line to that which goes to the gas tank. But you need to get a longer vacuum line to go to wherever the new spot for the canister is. I guess you could just delete the charcoal canister but I didn't. I wouldn't recommend it also. I know some people have done it though. So essentially you can't get rid of any. You just need to extend most of them to the new location. Wires too.

    I deleted the charcoal canister. But you can't delete the vent line, as you still need the vent. I suppose you could shorten it to the rear of the vehicle, but I'm not sure that does you much good.

    If you did an in-tank regulator like a lot of newer cars do you could remove the return line but at that point you may as well get a different gas tank and custom fuel rail for the effort it'll take to do right. There're only 3 lines and if you want they can be done in soft hose so it's not that hard to do.

    I got that rubber hose for EFI. Not sure if it's the "soft" hose. It is rubber. And there is tow types. You need EFI specific not carberated fuel hose.

    ok. you guys answered it for me. I will just buy some EFI hose and some unions and clamps. This is what I was figuring, just wanted to make sure.
