The hard line on the firewall is a vent to the tank. if you're going to remove the charcoal canister, you can just leave it as is. It does go all the way back to the tank and can be eliminated, or cut somewhere under the car nearer to the tank, but don't plug it and don't have it vent into the cabin for obvious reasons.

Don't forget to plug the intake manifold vacuum source.

If you loop it back to the throttle body you will be sucking in raw gas fumes. This can cause major problems. Just vent it to the atmosphere as stated before...
