I did some online research on different methodologies and after following the fuel vapor line from tank to engine bay/charcoal canister, I found the easiest functional & cleanest way was to:
1) Remove red hose from firewall metal fuel vapor line to charcoal canister, replace with longer red hose from canister to TB.
2) Remove charcoal canister, leaving large drain hose in place.
3) Route longer red hose from vapor metal line into/inside large canister drain hose, install hose clamp around it lightly snug not to collapse hose.
4) Install vacuum caps on any open ports on the intake piping or intake manifold that remain.
5) This is simple and retains canister drain hose that is nicely braced and has a neat baffle end-fitting that allows ventilation with some protection.
6) This method also retains the stock 2-way valve that retains gas in liquid form in the gas tank, to prevent spillage in rollover accident.
EDIT: My reasons for removing this canister was to utilize this firewall area for a catch can setup for a clean install. Also, I already had my emissions box (contains canister purge solenoid) removed with only the MAP sensor being used anyhow.
