Default vacuum question

kind of a stupid question that i feel i should know but im not 100% so i wanna get other inputs

i have a b16a and i only have 4 vacuum ports on the manifold 1 break booster 2 fuel pressure regulator 3 PCV 4 is "open" and im using it for my map..
im trying to hook up my evap system and i know the purg solenoid needs vacuum to work so can i T in the map sensor hose to my FPR? to free up my map sensor port for the evap.. the only consern i have is that the vacuum will get messed up for the map cause of the fpr or visa versa
again it sounds stupid but im not 100% sure

The purge solenoid vents built up vapors from the charcoal canister. I capped mine, and you can just rip the whole thing out if you want.

You should be able to put a T in one of the vacuum lines w/o any issues. As for removing the fuel vapor charcoal cannister I wouldn't because it will trigger a CEL & since you live in Chicagoland you have emissions testing FTL.
