Charcoal Canister Delete?

[Cody Forbes]

The only pro would be removing a pound or two of weight. The cons are 
releasing hydrocarbons into the atmosphere and polluting for no good reason. 
There is zero engine performance enhancement. These days our tailpipe 
emission are so good that evaporative emissions from fuel tank venting, fuel 
spillage, etc are far more of a concern. This is why P-ZEV emission standard 
vehicles (primarily seen in California) have a sealed fuel tank with the 
pump and the fuel filter locked inside forever - the fuel vapors released 
during a fuel filter or fuel pump change pollute more than what's coming out 
of the exhaust pipe.

I have a '91 Coupe quattro & 100q quattro (NF).

What're the pros and cons of deleting the charcoal canister on these cars?

Thanks.
