The hard line that runs to the charcoal canister is there to let fumes from the gas tank feed into the canister. You should keep at least a portion of the hardline. I bent mine underneath the brake booster and up next to the clutch master. You wanna make sure it's higher than the gas tank or it'll leak gas. Also just a thing to consider, it'll leak gas if you ever flip the car.

The hardline runs to a section of hose on the lower edge of the firewall. You can remove it there and leave it to vent.

We've discussed this for 20years now.
