Relocating Charcol Canister - HELP!

Hey guys, i took the charcol canister emmisions box out of the engine bay today - to much clutter and im about to cut my inner fenders. Anyways, the truck runs like shit. It bogs down at low RPM. It doesnt idle for shit. IT smells really bag of fumes, and I get a check engine light. How do i avoid this? can i do something with the lines? or where is the best spot to relocate it to?

thanks guys,

Dave
