Default Charcoal Box delete?

Well over the weekend as I was installing the On 3 turbo kit and realized the charcoal box was gonna be in the way. I figured I could always relocate it to the other side of the rail but thought maybe I should just go ahead and pull it completly out. So my question is will it throw a code(s), and other then getting a vented gas cap and plugging the lines, is there any thing else that needs to be done for the delete to work and not screw anything else up? I'm not to concerned with the increase in vapors but is there anything I should be aware of? Thanks for any and all help and advice.

Well I haven't taken it out yet but I'm about 99% sure I'm gonna. I was just hoping someone had personal experience with taking it out and verify that it wouldn't cause any check engine lights or any other ill effects other then the increase in vapors.

I haven't deleted mine yet but, from looking at it, it doesn't look like it will throw a cel

it will not throw a cel. you can cap off the vacuum line at the intake and run the fuel vapor line into your inner fender well. if you're using tweecer or binary editor you can turn off the solenoid and remove it.
