Questions about hoses connected to stock intake

[zepherman]

If your looking at the intake from the front and you look under the runners there are 2 hoses. well, what is the hose on the left? it runs to some metal cylinder and then to the charcoal canister(i think). That hose burned up in my little alternator fire several weeks ago. I was wondering if i could disconnect that hose from the intake and put a plastic cap over the nipple on he intake. What should i do about the side that runs to the little metal thing and the charcoal can. I dont have an air pump and i dont have to worry about smog inspection. can i just trsh all of the stuff connected to the charcoal can?

Also, there is a small metal tube that comes out from around behind the block on the passenger side. I think its connected to the heads and i think it may have run to the air pump. Well, whats the best way to close it off? I have been driving around for a while with it open and i am getting tired of the exhaust leak sound. should i pinch the end and then mig weld it closed?

thanks,
Adam
