Where to vent fuel vapor

Well I recently ripped out all of my emmisions stuff. I am curious what you guy's did for dumping your fumes once the charcoal canister was removed?

Gotta tell ya . I ask questions so hopefully I can get some feedback :( I know some of you have dealt with this at some point? Especially some of the hardcores trying to clean up their engine bay's.
Come on boy's.

the carbon canister will not do anything to make your car faster or run better.  It is there so that when the fuel tank expands and contracts due to heat and cold, the pressure and vacuum have somewhere to go.  It also is a way to keep the raw gas vapours from going out into the world and polluting.  Also raw fuel vapour can cause a fire.

The canister is way down below the battery and there are only a very few vacuum lines out in sight.

I'd just put it back togeather.
