Default Black Breather Box Removal **searched**

I'm in the middle of a wire tuck on my d16y7 and wanna know if/how to remove the black breather/pcv box. I've searched and found everything but how to remove it and IF it's ok to remove it. The engine is near stock... no flaming please.. just a point in the right direction.

I believe it's only two 10m bolts on a 5gen Civic (92-95), as for removing in all honestly off hand I couldn't say what the downfall is.

Its used for emissions.

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by www.howstuffworks.com &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">The emission control system that prevents the escape of fuel vapors from a vehicle's fuel system. Fuel vapors are routed by hoses to a charcoal canister for storage. Later, when the engine is running a purge control valve opens allowing intake vacuum to siphon the fuel vapors into the engine.</TD></TR></TABLE>

i had an idea of what it was for/how it works. Just wondering if there's a way for it to be taken off/reroute hoses to an actual catch can or something?!
